- Longview, Portland and Northern Railway
The Longview, Portland and Northern Railway is a historic railroad operation in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. It was founded by timber baron Robert A. Long, the founder of Longview, Washington. [ [http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=7482 "Cowlitz County -- Thumbnail History"] , "HistoryLink.org: The Online Encyclopedia od Washington State History"] The company was incorporated in 1922.

Beginning in 1954, the "LP&N" operated a three-mile-long short-line railroad on the Oregon Coast that connected the International Paper plant to the Southern Pacific interchange just outside of Gardiner, Oregon. The paper plant shut down in 1999 and was razed. All that remains of the plant is the railroad tracks and shop buildings.
In 2006, Robert Larson, president of the Oregon, Pacific and Eastern Railway (OP&E), filed with the State of Oregon for the LP&N. According to Mr. Larson, the LP&N will be a joint operation with OP&E. The "Blue Goose" logo will now become a part of the LP&N.
