A Ride On The Willamette Shore Trolley
Several years ago, TriMet ran a Vintage Trolley service through downtown Portland using two replica 1903 Council Crest cars from Gomaco built in 1991. Unfortunately, service ended in 2014.
Today, the cars belong to the Oregon Electric Railway Museum for use on the Willamette Shore Trolley, which runs from Bancroft Street to Lake Oswego a few times a day on weekends when in-season.
One of the two cars is currently being converted to a battery-electric trolley, as the alignment is not electrified. The cars currently get power from a generator that is towed when running to Lake Oswego and pushed when running to Portland.

Willamette Shore Trolley Line Side & Front End View July 2002
The Willamette Shore Trolley is a heritage streetcar that operates along the west bank of the Willamette River between Portland and Lake Oswego in the state of Oregon.
Equipment in use during 2002: Portland Traction Master Unit 813 (Brill 1932) and
a Blackpool English Double-Decker (#48). Both cars tow a generator trailer.
The railroad offers passenger excursions on a former Southern Pacific line previously known as the Jefferson Street Branch Line. The line runs for 5.5 miles (9 km), including a passage through the 0.25-mile-long (0.4 km) Elk Rock Tunnel.
There is a single sided passing siding along the line.
This video starts with a line side view and a front end view follows.
Watch for the Steam Locomotive 4449 at Oswego.

THINGS TO DO IN ASTORIA ORGEON
Things to do in Astoria, Oregon. Astoria Trolley and BowPicker Fish and Chips in Astoria, Oregon are must see.
Old 300 was built in 1913 by the American Car Company of St. Louis, Mo., for the San Antonio Traction Company in Texas. This group of cars was numbered 300 to 313 and had composite car bodies constructed from both wood and steel. Similar cars, 314 – 325, came from American Car in 1914 and had steel bodies. In 1917 the San Antonio Traction Co. became part of The San Antonio Public Service Co.
Streetcar service in San Antonio officially ended April 29, 1933, though some cars remained in service occasionally through the July 4th weekend. This was due to slow delivery of new buses and a higher than expected rate of breakdowns of buses.
Car 300 was presented to the Witte Museum on Sunday, April 29, 1933 with great fanfare. The car was run onto the museum grounds under its own power and parked. (Witte Museum is the precursor, and an important part now, of the San Antonio Museum Association.) Old 300 was left outside, with little maintenance, until 1948. It then received housing and a superficial restoration, including filling rotted areas with plaster. Traction motors, air compressor, and resistors were loaned out to another operation during World War II and never returned. In 1968, after the San Antonio World’s Fair, a Transportation Museum was developed at the downtown fairground. Car 300 was again placed on outdoor, unsheltered display until 1980, by which time it had a rather terminal case of rot.
The initial 1980-81 restoration ultimately required the use of car body 311, which had been scrapped in 1933. It had been placed under a metal shed and served as a woman’s residence until 1978, when she entered a rest home. Mrs. Rhoda Billings donated her home for this restoration. 300’s interior fittings and brass window sashes were used in this restoration. Broad-gauge New Orleans trucks and traction motors were acquired in Shreveport and “standard gauged,” which means that the wheels were spaced 4’ 8 1/2” apart to fit on standard tracks.
Old 300 is still the property of the San Antonio Museum Association. However, it has been in the Pacific Northwest for more than 10 years. For about five years, Old 300 ran on the Willamette Shore Trolley line from Portland to Lake Oswego. Then for the next five years the trolley went to Gales Creek, where another restoration was begun and Old 300 ran at the Glenwood Trolley Park. The Glenwood Trolley Park was shutting down operations when the City of Astoria was made aware of the availability of Old 300. Old 300 was leased from San Antonio for five years at $1 per year, and brought to the MERTS facility in December 1998 for restoration.
The most recent restoration of Old 300 was completed by an all-volunteer group of Astoria residents during the first five months of 1999. Considerable wood rot on one side below the windows was repaired. The exterior canvas roof of the trolley was re-covered, the interior bead-board ceiling installed, and the electrical systems repaired. The interior and exterior were painted. A diesel generator was acquired, and the generator trailer fabricated. More than $20,000 was raised (and spent), and nearly 3,000 man-hours were donated. As motormen and conductors, we all share a burden of responsibility not only for the safety of our passengers, but also for the continued preservation of Old 300.
Bowpicker Fish & Chips
Beer battered Albacore tuna and steak fries!
--- The breaded fish at Bowpicker is 100 percent Pacific Coast albacore tuna, the steak of the sea, caught by local fishermen and fried lightly in a golden batter. Firm chunks of Albacore tuna lightly beer battered and fried to perfection by Ron and Linda. They stand ready to soak up malt vinegar and scoop tartar sauce. The bed of thick steak fries, crunchy outside and tender inside, are much more than a side dish. For $11, you get five chunks of breaded albacore on top of a bed of steak fries.

Portland & Western's 2306 leads the Albina Local in Lake Oswego, Oregon Edited (11-04-2016)
Being filmed from N Square St. in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Portland & Western Railroad's 2306 leads the Albina Local west on the Wilsburg District near Tryon Creek and the Willamette River. If you like my video, like comment share and subscribe : )
Note. I originally saw the Albina Local parked near the Steel Bridge in Portland Oregon, and so I decided I'd head this thing off by riding TRIMET's 35 to Lake Oswego where I had a tasty doughnut at Nola Doughnuts in the middle of town.
Oregon City Trolley Ride
A fun activity with the kids or out of town guests is to ride the FREE trolley through historic Oregon CIty. With frequent stops to get off and back on at any time, you can really enjoy the sites and city. Downtown Main Street to the historic McLoughlin District and even down to the Willamette River. This video clip shows the exhilerating run down Washington Street hill. Look at the smiles on the girls faces! Hold on tight, those polished wood seats are slippery around corners.
