Western Railroad Discussion > Lake Oswego Trolley

Saturday, August 16th marked the return to service of the Portland, OR, to Lake Oswego tourist trolley. No overhead, but a generator on a small flat car, but at least it is an opeating trolley car. Noted departing Lake Oswego just 2 minutes ahead of the passage of the Portland & Western's 664 train about 1445 hours. There was a problem with a bridge on the line, which has been repaired.

Photo 1, coming, & 2 going the LO Trolley heading North.

Photo 3, the P&W 664 train jsut a minute later! The trolley had just gone out of view!

More details needed.

running Saturdays and sundays through September, trips out of downtown Lake Oswego, Oregon at 1, 2, 3, 4. using one of the replica council crest trolleys...NICE looking consist including the generator "car". NICE ride. Arlen

That's great to hear it's up and running again. I surveyed the line in '09 and found a TriMet hirail crew on a trestle, so I figured they were preparing a lightrail/streetcar conversion.

Max wanted to build into LO, but the people voted it down. So traffic continues to get more congested. Nimbies strike again!
