Kamholz grew up in Vernonia, home of Ore- gon-American operations. His grandfather, Alfred “Paddy” Hughes, was the chief electrician of the Vernonia mill. He co-au- thored the book “The Or- egon-American Lumber Company: Ain’t No More” and has given presentations all over the Pacific North- west on Oregon’s logging industry and transportation. This is Kamholz’s second time at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, but his presentation couldn’t be any more different from his last. He will discuss the luster of a bygone era, of a time when trains were the way to get where you needed ago. With historic images of some converted or closed depot stations and even Portland’s Union Sta- tion, he will share the story of Oregon’s railway system, starting with Oregon’s first wooden tramway and going through the construction of Portland’s Union Station to the Seaside Afternoon Spe- cial. This presentation is part of the Oregon Historical Railroads Project, of which Kamholz is an active mem- ber. The project’s object is to map all Oregon’s histor- ical railroads from 1846 to the present, and in so doing, give a virtual roadmap il- lustrating how Anglo cul- ture and much of today’s vehicular road infrastruc- ture developed throughout the state.
