"Another very important mode of transportation made available to Chautauqua goers was the electric streetcar. Built in 1893, it ran from Portland to Oregon City. In Gladstone, streetcars ran on a spur along Dartmouth Street to the entrance of the Chautauqua Park on Oatfield Road. The train and the streetcar supplemented the private conveniences of horse-drawn vehicles. Much of the buggy and wagon, and later the automobile, traffic used the wagon bridge, originally built over the Clackamas River in 1860."
