caption_attribution_description: Postcard depiction of the Shasta Limited at Mount Rainier. The railroad it's shown as traveling on is the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company. The name of the railroad was originally the Oregeon Railroad and Navigation Company. By 1910 as Union Pacific bought a substantial stake in it renamed it. By 1936, UP was using the line under the UP name for its access to the Pacific Northwest. It seems that Southern Pacific, who operated the Shasta, must have had some type of agreement with the WOR&amp;N in the train's earlier years.
context_page_description: The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company was a railroad that operated a rail network of 1,143 miles running east from Portland, Oregon, United States, to northeastern Oregon, northeastern Washington, and northern Idaho. It operated from 1896 as a consolidation of several smaller railroads.
  OR&N was initially operated as an independent carrier, but Union Pacific purchased a majority stake in the line in 1898. It became a subsidiary of UP titled the Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company in 1910. In 1936, Union Pacific formally absorbed the system, which became UP's gateway to the Pacific Northwest.
