St. John's Trolley Line. (1888-1937)

In late 1888 the Willamette Bridge Railway Co. began a short steam-motor line which ran from a northern terminus at Burlington Street in St. Johns to Stanton & Commercial in the town of Albina, which served as a transfer point to the first Oregon electric streetcar.



In 1903 the City & Suburban Railway Company electrified the line and extended service into downtown.



Line converted to trolley bus April 11, 1937. The gas ones followed in 1958.
