message: This info needs to be sourced and added back to the article:
:It is home to the Goble Moorage, the now-abandoned Goble Store, the former Goble Elementary School, which no longer serves as a public school, Goble Creek, Charles W. Chapman Quarry (Chapman Quarry), Goble Falls...
:In April 1853, Daniel Goble from Ohio filed a donation land claim along the banks of the Columbia River.  In 1890, George S Foster and his wife Eliza laid out plans on thirty acres upon which the town of Goble would grow.  Goble became one of many tiny communities that dotted the Lower Columbia Basin throughout the second half of the 1800s.  By the 1880s, five separate communities sprang up around Goble, including the settlements Neer City in 1883, Rueben in 1891, Beaver Homes in 1902, and Kalama, on the Washington Territory side of the Columbia.
:On October 15, 1884 the first train pulled into Hunter’s Landing, a ferry service opposite Kalama.  The railroad put Goble on the map and its place as an important waypoint along the Northern Pacific railroad was established.  The ferry boat Tacoma carried train cars across the river, establishing rail service from Portland to Seattle.  The ferry ran from October 9, 1884 until Christmas Day, 1908 when a railroad bridge was opened between Portland and Vancouver, Washington.  Passenger and automobile ferries functioned out of Goble until the construction of the Lewis and Clark Bridge between Rainier, Oregon and Longview, Washington in 1934.  The ferries obsolete, Goble’s role as a transportation hub subsided and its importance to the outside world all but disappeared.  The little town quietly faded into obscurity.

replies: text: If you can source it feel free to add it to the article. You can see the article, and the source I used, says ORR&NC, which established the train ferry, built a railroad on the Oregon side--it doesn't say it was to Portland.  Katr67 23:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Moved from main page

message: Yesterday this link had wrongly listed the  Henry villards line as the operator of the Ferry Tacoma at Goble, but his mistake
was suddenly repaired when it was called to the Museum's attention.    The Portland-Hunters line was absolutely of critical importance to the Northern Pacific, because construction of the Stampede pass route over the Washington Cascades was only starting in 1883 and this was the only way they had to connect their western Terminus at Tacoma to their transcontinental system.
The erroneous source at the Washington Secretary of States office has yet to be repairedRvannatta 01:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
