Columbia River and Oregon Central Railroad
The Columbia River and Oregon Central Railroad built a branch of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company (OR&N) from that company's main line at Arlington (on the Columbia River) south to Condon, Oregon, United States. The company was incorporated on August 22, 1903, and finished construction in 1905. A predecessor, Oregon Southern Railway, made surveys and acquired right-of-way, but did not begin construction. Always operated by the OR&N, the property of the Columbia River and Oregon Central Railroad, along with that of the OR&N, was sold to new Union Pacific Railroad (UP) subsidiary Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company on December 23, 1910.[1] The Condon, Kinzua and Southern Railroad would complete a line from Condon to Kinzua in 1929.
The Interstate Commerce Commission authorized UP to abandon the line south of Gilliam in 1992.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The remainder was leased to shortline Palouse River and Coulee City Railroad in 2003.[2]
