Despite the company name, this company did not build what became known as the Mount Tabor line, but instead the “South Mount Tabor” steam motor line, which became better known as the Hawthorne line after the avenue it ran along on the East Side.
In 1891, the company commenced laying track along SE 11th Avenue south of Hawthorne towards Sellwood but suspended work when they ran out of track. This stub was used by the succeeding East Side Railway Company to build their line to Sellwood, Milwaukie and Oregon City.
