Pacific Northwest Transit
Astoria Riverfront Trolley

Astoria is at the NW corner of Oregon where the mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. It use to be a busy city with fish canneries, but that is all gone, now its tourists. Astoria has a neat downtown, and paralleling downtown by the water is a tourist trolley. It runs on a former BNSF tracks. They have one car in use, San Antonio streetcar #300. #300 is owned by the San Antonio Art Museum and is leased to Astoria. The car is powered by a towed generator. The conductors on the car give a oral tour of the city and the history. This is a very nice ride!

# 300 is nearing its Western Terminal by the Red Lion Inn. That is the Astoria Bridge in the background. (9/2/02)	A nice 3/4 view of 300/ (9/2/02)
Here the generator cart is in the lead along the waterfront. (9/2/02)	The car here is on a wooden trestle that also serves pedestrians. (9/2/02)
Last view of the car, downtown Astoria is merely one block to the car's right. (9/2/02)
