About Portland Union Station
Just minutes outside of the bustling downtown core of Portland, Oregon, Portland Union Station is surprisingly historic by the standards of the American West. First opened in 1896, the station has been bringing travelers to the city ever since it was little more than a logging camp. And while cars and planes have stolen customers from the railway system, this remains an important part of the city's public transportation infrastructure.
