The modern photo is of the Southern Pacific's freight depot at the address you reference. They're not the same building, even though they look quite similar.<br /><br />After 1914, both the Oregon Electric and the Southern Pacific ran electric interurbans out to Hillsboro: the Southern Pacific's "Red Electric" line didn't actually call at the freight depot, as the electric line took a loop off the main rail line to go north along 6th, west along Main, and then south along Range (now Adams), where it rejoined the main line. The electric ticket office was between 2nd and 3rd on Main (one block north of the OE depot) and there was an interchange with the steam line to Tillamook at the corner of Main and Range (where the Hatfield Government Center MAX stop is now).<br /><br />Once the Southern Pacific took over the line to Tillamook, it did run all the way from Portland, though it took a circuitous route: From Union Station, it crossed the river to run on the eastside down to the Oswego rail bridge, through Oswego and Cook, then up through Tigard to Beaverton and out to Hillsboro before turning north to head out to the coast.<br /><br />(Comment resubmitted after I noticed a couple of errors, sorry)Chaosboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026384686097879837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272260915472589853.post-70227748612099284952023-09-11T08:43:06.098-07:002023-09-11T08:43:06.098-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chaosboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026384686097879837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272260915472589853.post-41387895518796904872023-07-18T19:41:55.527-07:002023-07-18T19:41:55.527-07:00Did you ever find out?

Those interested in the history of Tillamook County or, in particular, of the great disaster of Bayocean MUST get this book! If you are on these pages about Bayocean, you will LOVE the organized telling of this true story (has SO MUCH MUCH MORE than these overview pages and MANY MANY MORE photos!) I love the history of Tillamook County, but the subject of Bayocean has interested and haunted me ever since I was a little girl, standing with my parents at Bayocean looking over the skeletal remains of homes that where the end of Bayocean. I would give this book, written by an expert on the topic, all the stars possible!Sandi Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068949796919952855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272260915472589853.post-64181296228652283842023-03-21T16:56:23.331-07:002023-03-21T16:56:23.331-07:00I can’t wait to read your book.

The first Tillamook Bay Coast Survey chart, based on soundings taken by Julius Kincheloe in 1866 and 1867, shows the channel from the inlet to the east side of the bay narrowing to eleven feet with no depths there approaching eighteen feet one-half mile offshore. Several spots meet that description around Crab Harbor. Haswell also said Captain Gray chose not to fill the ship’s water barrels because sources were too far distant for the ship’s guns to protect sailors doing the work. Streams and rivers flow into Tillamook Bay year-round from every side except the spit. If they had anchored anywhere except Crab Harbor, sailors could have collected water within the range of its guns. On page 10 of "Bayocean Memories Beneath the Sand," Bayocean alumnus Perry Reeder agrees. Having piloted ships through the bay inlet for many years, he recognized Haswell's landmarks. He also pointed out that Captain Gray would not have forced sailors weak from scurvy go any farther than they had to before anchoring and searching for fruit.
