Oregon California & Eastern Railroad
Commute Cars


In the days before the automobile, timber companies usually rostered some sort of passenger equipment used to move loggers back and forth from the camps to the woods. Weyerhaeuser used some former interurban cars on their Klamath Falls operations. At some point in the 1950's the wooden cars were supplemented with a steel Harriman-style coach purchased from the Southern Pacific.
