Oregon’s First Locomotive Ride With Chief on Board
In 1870s Oregon a locomotive named Pony carried company officials to a hill where dirt and smoke blackened them. Engineer Goffe later ferried three hundred Indians and a yearly feast ritual began with the chief awaiting the train for a ride. The officers avoided future trips while the Chief remained a regular guest.
