| This early OC elevator is the only outdoor municipal elevator in the world, shown here in its first version in about 1913. It tranports residents from the lower downtown area up the steep cliffs that divide the city. Before it was replaced with a modern version in May, 1955, I heard it was pretty scary! To learn more about this unique transportation, visit The End Of The Oregon Trail web site. | The OC street car was another popular mode of transportation in early Oregon City. |
