Portland, Eugene and Eastern Railway Company ran a line from Portland to
Beaverton towards Forest Grove. There was a branch line from Beaverton
that swung southeast to Cook. Since Metzger appears to be
northeast of Tigard, I suggest that is the one you are looking
for.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

RAILROAD IN METZGER, OR.<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there anyone out there that remembers the
electric railroad that went from Portland, to Metzger and Tigard and
beyond? My grandfather, W.Z.G.Steele, built his home and store across
the road from it on 87th Ave. between Locust & Oak Sts. in Metzger,
OR in 1911. Would like to know where I can get some info about
it.</FONT></DIV>
