PGE’s Vintage Trolley
After nearly five decades in hia-
us, Portland General Electric Co.
PGE) is returning to the railway tracks
n vintage style. The former trolley
;ompany is “bringing back to life one
af only four old-time trolleys that will
t>e tracing the streets of Portland be­
ginning Wednesday, July 15,from noon
to 1 p.m., at Pioneer Courthouse
Square.
To mark the occasion, the public
square the b rass band sounds of
Stumptown Jazz and the sweet melo­
dies of Surround Sound, a local bar­
bershop quartet. During the festivities,
PGE’s Vintage Trolley will make two
stops at the square to give people an
opportunity to board and get a closer
look at the replica. In addition, free
passes for future trolley rides will be
handed out to the first 1,000 people
that show up and a drawing will be
held for a gourmet picnic dinner for
two to four people and one evening s
private use of the PGE trolley.
PGE is one of four Portland orga­
nizations sponsoring a Vintage Trol­
ley. Unlike the other three, PGE has
added something very special to its car
— energy efficiency. Through the use
of compact fluorescent bulbs, the car
expends about one-fourth the energy
required for lighting. The bulbs also
t e a ten umes tenger fnan regular in­
candescent lights. In addition, the car
is equipped with signs and posters that
offer helpful energy efficiency tips for
riders.
"In supporting the Vintage Trol-
ley, we’ re reviving a bit of our past and
promoting the wise use of our natural
resources,” says Dick Reiten, Presi­
dent of Portland General Corp. “Aside
from the energy efficiency elements
we’ve incorporated in our car, the trol­
leys are a form of mass transit. Using
the PGE vintage trolley, riding MAX,
taking the bus or carpooling means
fewer cars on the road, and that’s good
for air quality," he says.

more than eight decades. The com­
pany played an integral role supplying
electricity for original trolleys in the
late 1900s. By 1906 PGE (then known
as Portland Railway, Light & Power
Co.) owned all city railways and many
of the inter-urban lines - a natural
marriage since the electric railways
were among the largest power users.
PGE owned and operated 14 parks
along the trolley lines including Coun­
cil Crest, the Oaks (the current site of
Oaks Park), and Canemah Park over­
looking Willamette Falls. Between
1907 and 1919, the company safely
transported more than one billion
people on city lines.
The early electric trolleys were
also used for freight transportation.
Wood, gravel, fruits, vegetables, and
dairy products were brought in on the
cars from Troutdale, Gresham, Bull
Run and oOier outlying areas.
PGE operated the railway system
until 1946 when it was sold to the
Portland Transit Company. The last
electric trolleys retired from Portland’s
streets in 1950.
