[or-roots] Daddy train

[OregonMol at aol.com]

The Oregon Historical Quarterly for winter 2008 vol. 109, Number 4 has an  
article on p. 598 called Economic Phoenix  about A.B. Hammond who  developed the 
railroad to Astoria and ultimately Seaside and points further  south.  His 
train first brought people flocking to the beach in summer,  then he began 
making more runs on Fridays and returns on Sundays and Monday  mornings to Portland 
hence the term "Daddy Trains"  For people interested  in Oregon/Washington 
railroads and the "scroundrels"  who  developed  them it is good reading.
