Produktinformationen zu „Willamette Valley Railways (ePub)“
Willamette Valley Railways tells the story of the electric interurban railways that ran through Oregon,s Willamette Valley and of the streetcars that operated in the towns they served. Long before modern light rail vehicles, electric trains were providing Portland and the Willamette Valley with reliable, elegant transportation that was second to none. Between 1908 and 1915, two large systems, the Oregon Electric Railway and the Southern Pacific Red Electrics, joined smaller competitors constructing railways throughout the region. Portland became the hub of an impressive interurban network in a frenzy of electric railway building. Yet all too soon, this brief but glorious interurban era was over. Highway improvement and the growth of automobile ownership made electric passenger trains unprofitable in the sparsely populated valley. By the early 1930s, the company that had launched the nation,s first true interurban was the only one still offering passenger service here.
Autoren-Porträt von Richard Thompson
Rail historian Richard Thompson, author of Arcadia Publishing's Portland's Streetcars, has enjoyed an interest in streetcars since his grandmother took him on Oregon's last interurban. In this volume, he uses more than 200 historic images to give the reader a sense of what it was like to travel through the beautiful Willamette Valley during the interurban age.
