An Oregon Coast Railroad History of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Co. and Tillamook County

Railroad historian Paul Michael Clock documents the construction and operation of the Pacific Railway and Navigation Co. (PR&N), built through the rugged Oregon Coast Range between 1905 and 1911. Nicknamed the "Punk, Rotten and Nasty" due to brutal terrain, mudslides, and engineering challenges, the line connected Hillsboro to Tillamook.

Illustrated with rare historical photographs, maps, and engineering diagrams, the book chronicles coastal timber expansion, trestle construction, locomotive operations, and boom-and-bust logging towns along the route. Clock draws on primary archive records to detail the economic impact on northwestern Oregon.

Why You’ll Love This Book
