Description:
Portland Railway Company Car No. 82 carrying 32 souls was coming up the eastern approach of the Burnside bridge from Woodlawn on June 21, 1903 when it jumped off the tracks and ran into a telephone pole. For the brave sacrifice of this pole a potential trajedy was averted, and only two ladies were merely shoken up. Thank you, telephone pole, THANK YOU!!
