Oregon Electric Railway Museum är ett amerikanskt spårvägsmuseum samt museispårväg i Brooks i Oregon. Det drivs av det 1957 bildade ideella föreningen Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society, som också driver museispårvägen Willamette Shore Trolley mellan Portland och Lake Oswego.[1]
Tidigare museum
Museet öppnade 1959 i Glenwood, 64 kilometer väster om Portland, med körpremiär för museispårvägen 1963. Från 1966 har veteranspårvagnarna gått reguljärt. Glenwood museum byggdes vid en tidigare timmerjärnväg, där en tidigare såg byggde om till spårvagnshall. Museets område var på elva hektar och där fanns en 2,7 kilometer museispårväg.
Nuvarande museum
Glenwood stängde 1995 och museet återöppnade i Brooks året därpå. Museum har där en 1,6 kilometer lång museijärnväg och en spårvagnshall med fyra spår.

Portland "Council Crest" Brill streetcar 503 at the terminus of the passenger line at the Trolley Park museum (Glenwood, Oregon), the former location of the Oregon Electric Railway Museum, in 1986. During its service career in Portland, the ten streetcars in this series ran on narrow-gauge (3'6") trucks, but by the time of this photo car 503's original trucks had been replaced by standard-gauge trucks from an ex-Melbourne W2-type streetcar, to allow the car to operate on the museum line and in San Francisco (where it was on loan in 1983 and again in 1985).
The museum closed at this location in 1995 and opened at its new location, in Brooks, Oregon, in 1996.(c) Steve Morgan, CC BY-SA 3.0

The carbarn at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum (Brooks, Oregon). Parked in front of the building are 1934-built Brussels car 19 (with similar car 34 behind it, mostly obscured from view), a similar-vintage Brussels passenger trailer (No. 2190, ex-607, painted in the dark-green livery it received at the former Grand Cypress Resort, in Florida), and steeple-cab locomotive 351 from the Missoula Street Railway. At the far left is Seattle 604, a 1940 Twin Coach trolley bus. At the far right, Sydney 1187 (from Australia) is temporarily stopped on the museum's main line, to allow passengers to deboard and tour the carbarn.

Blackpool 48, a 1928 double-deck streetcar (tram) from England, operating on the Willamette Shore Trolley heritage streetcar line, between Portland, Oregon and Lake Oswego, Oregon, in 1996. It is pictured southbound in the Johns Landing neighborhood of Portland. The ex-Southern Pacific Railroad track does not have overhead trolley wires, so the electricity to power the streetcar comes from a generator it is towing on a trailer. Car 48 was in use on the WST line in fall 1987 and then again from November 1995 until 2006 (but not in regular use after 2003). In 2006, it was moved to the Oregon Electric Railway Museum, in Brooks, Oregon.

Two streetcars/trolleys in operation at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum, in Brooks, Oregon, seen at the outer end of the trolley line, Willow Creek "station". Car 210 (currently showing the wrong number, "201", which it received only after retirement) is from Porto, Portugal, where it was built in 1940, based generally on American (J.G. Brill) designs of the 1910s. Double-decker 48 is a 1928-built Blackpool "Standard" tramcar from Blackpool, England, and has been owned by the Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society since 1964. It is one of only very few operating double-deck trams at museums in the United States.

In front of the carbarn at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum (Brooks, Oregon) are 1934-built Brussels car 19 (in the center) and similar car 34 behind it (also built in 1934). Both were originally passenger streetcars, but were converted into work (maintenance) cars in 1970–71.

Front of the carbarn at the Trolley Park (in Glenwood, Oregon), the former location of the Oregon Electric Railway Museum, which closed at this location in 1995 and opened at its new location, in Brooks, Oregon, in 1996. The four cars visible in this photo are (left to right): a Porto, Portugal single-truck car; a San Francisco cable car; Sydney, Australia "O"-class car 1187; and British Columbia Electric Railway interurban 1304. Some of these cars are no longer in the museum's collection.
