Add a note of Pacific Northwest railroad history to your workspace with this Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company mouse pad. The OR&N’s 1,143-mile network reached from Portland toward northeastern Oregon, northeastern Washington, and northern Idaho, connecting communities across a changing regional landscape. Its history includes Columbia River routes, a 1910 name change under Union Pacific, and absorption in 1936. A practical workspace accent for railway enthusiasts, regional history fans, and collectors of historic transportation companies.
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.
