Details and chronologies of car barns, shops, power stations, stations and depots, etc.
Of special note is the changing approach to power houses over the years – the original lines often each had their own separate power house, before the growth of the networks and added service made that untenable. The companies then opted to build large, centralized power houses that distributed power to the whole network with the help of strategically-located substations. Often, these power houses were located next to lumber yards for a plentiful supply of cheap fuel – scrap wood and sawdust. The Inman, Poulsen & Co. lumber yard in SE Portland hosted multiple power houses over the years, and OMSI (the Portland General Electric Company’s Power Station “L”) still sits on the site today.
