[or-roots] Train to Oregon

[Eugene Barnes]

The SP route was from Omaha.  Had to get train from
east to connect circa 1880.  By 1882 SF may have had
route open through LA and up to San Fran. Both ended
there.  Had to go by Ship north from San Fran.  Old
Station in LA now long gone.

  My grandparents came to Washington in 1902.   I know they were living in the Elochoman Valley, Wahkiakum County Washington in 1902 & 3.   I have a picture of my grandfather on a logging train in 1904.  Also one of  my Grandmother, my father and 2 of his siblings at the Sunny Grove School, Elochoman No. 12 about 1904.
  My father used to tell about coming on the train.  I have wondered just what their route might have been.   Have been told the train did come down the Oregon side of the Columbia River.
  Anybody know any details?
