Railroads & Trains

Workers, logs, trains, bridges – oh my!

It’s a set dedicated to “Railroads and Trains”in the Gerald Williams Collection.

Loading logs in Clatskanie, cruising through Cow Creek Canon, standing on the tracks near Seaside, traveling a trestle through the timber belt… This set is full of beautiful black & whites, as well as full color postcards from the Williams Collection. And who can resist the visual proof for the “Highest piling bridge in the world, P.R. & N. Railroad” or the “Donkey engine in the Willamette Valley”? And for those of us in the mid-Willamette Valley, check out the “Oregon Electric train passing through Albany, Oregon”!
