Also known as the “Fairview division”.

Originally, this line branched northwards from the Cazadero line at Linneman Junction (also known as Cedarville Junction), but in 1913 the inner terminus was shifted to Montavilla instead.

The line from Montavilla to Troutdale was abandoned in 1927. The section from Linneman Junction to Ruby Junction (then operating as part of the Mount Hood line) was abandoned for passenger service in December 1930 but continued to be used for freight operations before being reactivated c. 1945 when the eastern terminus of the Cazadero line switched from the OWP Gresham station to the more centrally-located Mount Hood Gresham station.

Much of the right of way remains today as the Fairview–Gresham multi-use trail.
