It originally ran for , with an accompanying of telegraph line,〔Topinka, Lyn. ("Railroads and Trains" ). Columbia River Images. Retrieved 11 January 2011.〕 and was later extended to a length of . The railroad was located on the south bank of the Cascades canal of the Columbia River, from Tanner Creek (near where Bonneville Dam was later built) to the Cascade Locks, which were under construction in the later years of the railroad's operation. Although the Oregon Portage was the first railroad in Oregon, it was not the first along the Columbia. Francis A. Chenoweth operated a rail line on the river's north bank in present-day Washington in 1851.〔Terry, John (27 May 2007). "A Little Engine That Couldn't Beat Time". ''The Oregonian'' (Portland, Oregon).〕 ==History== In 1861, John W. Brazee of the Oregon Portage Company started to build a broad gauge railroad out of a mule-and-wagon road that had been constructed by Col. Joseph S. Ruckle and Harrison Olmstead in 1856 but had been out of service since around 1858. The cost of Brazee's conversion of the road was $50,000 USD (), and the line opened on 20 May 1861, still relying on mule power.〔〔 After one more year, the portage company acquired the Oregon Pony, which became the first locomotive in the Pacific Northwest,〔〔Strack, Don (13 December 2009). ("Oregon Steam Navigation Co. (OSN): Lower Portage (the Cascades)" ). UtahRails.Net. Retrieved 12 January 2011.〕 debuting for the railroad on 10 May 1862. The Oregon Portage Railroad was operated by the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, which sold the railroad for $155,000 around the year 1880 () as part of the company's sale to the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company.〔〔 Restoration of the railroad in 1891, including a conversion to the narrow gauge, was a result of demands from steamboat captains and delays in the construction of the Cascades Locks and Canal. Steamboat captains had voiced concerns because they needed to transport goods and passengers past the Cascades Rapids and were disappointed with the quality of the Cascades Railroad.〔〔 Once the locks were completed in 1896, however, demand for the Oregon Portage Railroad decreased. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oregon Portage Railroad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
