This
30’ box car with single door is painted brown with white lettering.
It was built some time in the late 1800s and runs on Diamond Arch
Bar trucks. The Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company transported
goods including cranberries and lumber, and passengers up and
down the somewhat isolated Long Beach Peninsula from the bar of
the Columbia River up the Long Beach Peninsula to Nahcotta, Washington,
on Willapa Bay for over 40 years. Most passengers began their
trip in Portland, Oregon taking the large paddleboats and, later,
ferries across the Columbia river to the transfer point of the
railroad. The railroad had a number of nicknames, including the
“Clamshell Railroad.” |
