Portland and Willamette Valley Railway : ウィキペディア英語版 | Portland and Willamette Valley Railway
The Portland and Willamette Valley Railway was incorporated on 19 January 1885 to continue construction of a narrow gauge〔(Encyclopedia of Western Railroad History: Oregon, Washington, p. 131 )〕 railroad line between Portland and Dundee, Oregon, United States, which had been started a few years earlier by the Oregonian Railway.〔(American Narrow Gauge Railroads, p. 480 )〕 The line was opened on 31 December 1886 and the first timetables were published the following day; however, the line did not reach Portland until 23 July 1888, due to disputes over the right-of-way. The railroad company ran this line until it fell into receivership on 2 February 1892. On 5 August 1892, the line was leased to a Southern Pacific Railroad subsidiary, the Portland and Yamhill Railroad, which ran the narrow gauge line for another year. The railroad was later taken over entirely by the Oregon and California Railroad, another Southern Pacific Railroad subsidiary, on 1 August 1893 and was converted to that same year.〔(Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society's website about the trolley )〕 The Willamette Shore Trolley runs on a part of that Dundee-Portland line, between Lake Oswego and Portland.〔 == References ==
