and passed to PRL&P with a 1906 merger. It is shown at the
Oregon Electric Railway Museum (old site). A series of mergers of various transportation companies in 1905–1906 culminating in the merger of the
Portland Street Railway Company; Oregon Water, Power and Railway Company; and the
Portland General Electric Company on June 28, 1906, established the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company (PRL&P). The name,
Portland General Electric (PGE), remained in use as a division of PRL&P and, after subsequent reorganizations in 1930 and 1940
converted from narrow gauge in December 1908 for efficiency, so that they could operate out of PRL&P's
Sellwood carbarn, which was closer to the area those lines served but was only equipped for standard-gauge operation. It was a monopoly, and "liable to anti-trust action under the
Sherman Act." The company only installed safety devices (such as pedestrian bumpers) on its streetcars after "extreme public pressure." and the
Sellwood Division Carbarn Office and Clubhouse was listed in 2002. The company's 1911 hydroelectric facility in
Estacada, Oregon, the
River Mill Hydroelectric Project, is also listed on the NRHP. ==See also==
