Nostalgia & History > Three Substancial Oregon Electric DepotsDate: 08/29/14 11:11 Three Substancial Oregon Electric Depots Author: MartyBernard Albany, Harrisburg, and Eugene, OR. Harrisburg is between Albany and Eugene. The Oregon Electric Railway interurban ran down the Willamette River Valley from Portland to Eugene. The Eugene depot is now the Oregon Electric Station restaurant and the Albany depot is now a pizza parlor. The railroad is still in good shape and operated by the Portland and Western with daily freights.

Where in Harrisburg was the dept located? Date: 08/30/14 13:00 Re: Three Substancial Oregon Electric Depots Author: Chooch What a surprise the second photo is. I lived in the Harrisburg, PA area for 40 years and never knew there was a sister city in Oregon. Just goes to show you that even at age 81, I can still learn new things. Thanks for the pictures.
