Railroad plans to build fourteen mountain routes in Oregon Washington
The 0. F. & N. company filed notices of intention with Oregon and Washington authorities to construct fourteen new or upgraded branches totaling about 500 miles. Routes would cross the inland passes from Umatilla to Lewiston and beyond, with ferries and steamers where needed, linking towns like Pendleton, Dayton, Colfax, and Keating while spanning the Snake, Salmon, and Clearwater basins and the Bitter Root region. The plan envisions connections to existing lines, including the O R and N, and seeks to utilize remote passes to access unoccupied terrain across the two states.
