Oregon Electric Railway Museum

The Oregon Electric Railway Museum is the largest trolley museum in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to the “living” preservation of electric transit history. The museum’s collection features over 30 historic streetcars, interurbans, and trolley buses sourced from across the globe, including vintage cars from Portland, Blackpool, and Hong Kong. Visitors can enjoy scenic excursions on a mile-long electrified mainline, where meticulously restored trolleys—some dating back to the early 1900s—provide an authentic experience of the era before the automobile dominated the landscape. Beyond the regular seasonal rides, the museum is a centerpiece of major events like The Great Oregon Steam-Up, where its “Master Unit” and double-decker trams come alive to transport guests through a bygone age of clean, efficient electric travel.
