8	Oregon Pacific Railroad Linear Historic District		October 29, 1999 (#99001285)	Roughly a 20-mile linear section of the old railroad grade between Idanha and the Cascade Range summit (See also Marion and Linn counties.) 44°27′10″N 121°53′57″W	Idanha to the Cascade Range summit via Santiam Junction	Beginning in 1872, the colorful Thomas Egenton Hogg set out to build a transcontinental railroad terminating in the Oregon Coast. By the time of his venture's final bankruptcy in 1894, completed track reached only from Yaquina Bay to Idanha in the Cascade foothills, with grade work under way east of Idanha to the summit.

Abandoned part way through construction, these remnants provide a unique window onto construction methods and living conditions in 19th century railroad camps.
