A photo of the Oregon Electric Railway right of way in Tualatin, OR. (too-wala-tin), ca. 1920. The 60,000 volt power line with M-4325 multiparts, followed the track and powered the many substations along the line to provide DC power for the trains. Notice the large amount wood stacked along the line waiting for shipment. This was the primary source of fuel in those days and was plentiful in Oregon! The local telephone line is seen on the east side of the road with glass insulators on a ten pin crossarm. |
