Historical NoteReturn to Top
In the 1890s, electric streetcars began replacing horse-drawn trolleys in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan era. Initially, a number of competing companies operated these streetcars. However, in 1906, many of these companies consolidated into the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company (PRL&P). Streetcars provided service throughout Portland, and to nearby towns via interurban lines. Ridership peaked in the early 1920s, and the increasing popularity of the automobile led to a decline in riders. City streetcar lines were converted into bus lines in 1950, and interurban trains ceased operation in 1958. Electric mass transit returned to Portland in the 1980s through the opening of Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District (Tri-Met) light rail lines, and a new streetcar line launched in 2001.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection consists of plans and drawings relating to the design and construction of streetcars, train cars, buses, and buildings for transportation companies. A significant number of these are plans and drawings either produced by or in the possession of Portland Railway, Light & Power Company (later Portland General Electric). Other firms represented in the collection include Oregon Railway and Navigation Company; Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway; and Oregon Water Power & Railway Company. Many of the drawings in this collection have an alphanumeric label written on them, which is noted in the item's title. Architectural drawings for buildings in this collection are primarily for facilities for streetcar and railroad employees and equipment, though they include a number of drawings for a proposed railway station in Mt. Angel, Oregon, and for a proposed hotel in Albany, Oregon, to be managed by Oregon Electric Railway. The collection also contains plans and drawings for other vehicles and sites, such as motorized shovels and landscape plans for a railway station rose garden.
