The Portland Terminal Railroad
Company (PTRC), formerly the Northern Pacific Terminal Company (NPTCo.),
was created to be the heart of Henry Villard's Northwest rail empire.
The NPTCo. survived the whims of the financial markets, two world wars,
and numerous corporate mergers. It reached its zenith in the 1950s and
changed its name to Portland Terminal Railroad Company in 1965. The
company continues to operate as a successful business, serving the local
freight needs of the parent railroads and Guild's Lake industrial
district.
