| The Oregon Pacific Railroad is a family owned and operated railroad located in the Greater Portland Metro Area. This short line consists of two divisions; the East Portland Branch and the Molalla Branch. Although primarily a freight railroad, the Oregon Pacific is famous for its friendly attitude toward rail fans and the public and has hosted a number of community oriented events, including public train rides. The Oregon Pacific Railroad is owned by Richard Samuels and is operated by him and his sons, Tim, Brian and Craig Samuels and his partner, Kelly. OPR crews are trained and experienced in every aspect of railroading, including rail & equipment construction, maintenance, fabrication, restoration and train operations. Richard Samuels has owned and operated this company since it was formed in 1987, when he first organized it to purchase the Portland Traction Company Railroad in East Portland. Common carrier operations began in 1991, when the remains of the PTC was officially taken over. Richard Samuels later purchased the Southern Pacific Molalla Branch in 1993 and the two divisions now comprise the Oregon Pacific Railroad. 2011 marked 20 years for the OPR as a common carrier railroad and more than 24 years of company operations. Richard Samuels was able to revive these two railroads with a sincere dedication to customer service that continues to this day. The OPR will be here for many years to come, serving customers near the two branch lines and hosting public events. |
