Hood River station

The Hood River station is a historic train station in Hood River, Oregon, currently serving the heritage Mount Hood Railroad. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as the Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company Passenger Station. The station was built by the Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad, in 1911. Amtrak's Pioneer also used the station and nearby area from 1977–1997.

The railroad first reached Hood River in 1882 with the arrival of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company . The OR&N built eastward from Portland, eventually reaching Huntington in 1884, near the border with Idaho. In 1882, a two-story wooden depot was built at Hood River. As the town grew, a new station was seen as necessary. The current building was completed in 1911, on the same site as the previous depot. In 1918, a runaway locomotive struck the west side of the station.
