Riverwood Wig Wag crossing - Willamette Shore Trolley | UPF short

On Saturday the Willamette Shore trolley was open for business. I headed down to get the last run for the day in the neighborhood of Riverwood, there lies a Trolley Wig Wag which are rare now a days. The line runs on old Southern Pacific trackage and offers cool views along the Willamette River. enjoy this short 2 minute video of the Riverwood Wig Wag in action!

“We can’t run trolleys there. The line isn’t electrified.” “Hold my beer.”

Oh the memories of the interurban from Star City, WV to Washington, PA , in rhe early 40s. It is got scrapped to support the war effort in WW II. For a little kid, what a joy to ride! ❤😂

I'm a Conductor on the Willamette Shore Trolley!

[@pzone2301]

I rode the trolley a little while back, what are your years of service on the line?

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

@@pzone2301 Cool, I was a Conductor from 2016-2019. I've also been a Mechanic and done Maintenance of Way (MOW) for them from 2016 to present. I'm also the WST's Marketing Director. I'm still semi-affiliated with the WST. I'm actually also working in Guest Services for the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers.
