Information About

Longview, Portland And Northern Railway




Beginning in 1954, the "LP&N" operated a three-mile-long Short-line Railroad on the Oregon Coast that connected the International Paper plant to the Southern Pacific interchange just outside of Gardiner, Oregon . The paper plant shut down in 1999 and was razed. All that remains of the plant is the railroad tracks and shop buildings.

In 2006, Robert Larson, president of the Oregon, Pacific And Eastern Railway (OP&E), filed with the State of Oregon for the LP&N. According to Mr. Larson, the LP&N will be a joint operation with OP&E. The "Blue Goose" logo will now become a part of the LP&N.
