The reproduction was donated in 1996 by Malcolm Boslar, husband of Virginia St. Clair Boslar, who included a letter about the timetable: "I arrived in Gresham via a street car in May 1929 on the Estacada Line. I knew my parents lived about two miles SE of Gresham on Palmblad and Palmquist Road so started walking. I worked for farmers and picked berries that first summer, and always knew what time it was (dinner time) by the interurban, bull run and estacada and their whistles."
The Estacada-Cazadero Interurban trolley line was part of an electric trolley system that ran through the Portland metro area, into Gresham, east to Bull Run and south to Cazadero. Initially a rail line for transporting supplies to the construction site for the Cazadero Dam via steam engine, by 1905 the line was electrified and regularly running passenger trolleys, as well as freight and mail. - Date
