Carry a piece of Pacific Northwest transportation history on your travels with this Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company luggage tag. The company’s routes connected Portland with eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and northern Idaho, while Columbia River vessels helped shape its wider network. From its 1896 consolidation to its 1936 absorption by Union Pacific, the story reflects a changing regional carrier. A fitting travel accessory for railway history enthusiasts and OR&N collectors.
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company (OR&N) was a rail and steamboat carrier formed in 1896 by consolidating several smaller railroads. Its 1,143-mile network extended from Portland, Oregon, toward northeastern Oregon, northeastern Washington, and northern Idaho. Its central predecessor, the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, traced roots to 1860, was incorporated in Portland in 1879, and developed rail and river routes, including a Columbia River line completed to Wallula by 1882. The company acquired the Oregon Steam Navigation Company in 1880, along with other transportation interests and vessels. Union Pacific purchased a majority stake in 1898. In 1910, the system became a Union Pacific subsidiary named the Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company; that year, the Walla Walla and Columbia River Railroad was consolidated into it, and the Idaho Northern was absorbed as a branch. The Mill Creek Railroad, purchased in 1903, was later sold and merged into the Washington and Columbia River Railway. In 1936, Union Pacific formally absorbed the system, which had become its gateway to the Pacific Northwest.
