OPOPR Flagging Requirements for Public & Private Projects |
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 Division and the Molalla Branch Division. 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 almost year round Saturday public train rides. The Oregon Pacific Railroad is owned by Richard Samuels and is primarily operated by him and his sons, Tim, Brian and Craig Samuels with help from friends, volunteers and others. 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 were officially taken over. Richard Samuels later purchased the Southern Pacific Molalla Branch in 1993 and the two divisions now comprise the Oregon Pacific Railroad. 2017 marks 26 years for the OPR as a common carrier railroad and more than 30 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 and its employees thank everyone including our valued customers, railfans and volunteers for their wonderful support of our unique and rare family owned and operated shortline railroad company. |
