Volunteers from the Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society (I had no idea that club existed until recently) conduct rides on the vintage trolley below. This trolley only runs the weekends in September so we made sure to get a ride! The route is a 5-mile scenic ride along the Willamette River on a railway that was built in 1887. Such a fun, short thing to do in downtown Lake Oswego!
Thanks Kelsey for taking this photo on your phone. I think I enjoyed the ride more than anyone else…
We enjoyed watching the conductors because you could tell they were loving every second of their job. After all, they volunteered every Saturday and Sunday during September just to sharing this vintage trolley experience with locals. Talk about dedication!
The original railway stop light!
I wish this trolley ride was available all year so we could come back and experience all the different seasons this way.
Wow. Could we be any more pale? We belong in Oregon.
