08.17: Slabtown Streetcars
2015-07-15 01:03:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
No area of Portland played a more important role in street railway history than the neighborhood known as Slabtown. In 1872, the city's first streetcars passed close to Slabtown as they headed for a terminus in the North End. Slabtown was also home to the first streetcar manufacturing factory on the West Coast. Until locally built streetcars began to be replaced by trolleys from large national builders in the 1910s, more than half of all rolling stock was manufactured in shops located on NW 23rd Ave. Historian Richard Thompson recounts the area's streetcar history in Slabtown Streetcars (Arcadia).
