The Portland and Willamette Valley Railway was incorporated on 19 January 1885 to continue construction of a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge railroad line between Portland and Dundee, Oregon, United States, which had been started a few years earlier by the Oregonian Railway. The line was opened on 31 December 1886 and the first timetables were published the following day; however, the line did not reach Portland until 23 July 1888, due to disputes over the right-of-way. The railroad company ran this line until it fell into receivership on 2 February 1892.

The railroad company ran this line until it fell into receivership on 2 February 1892. On 5 August 1892, the line was leased to a Southern Pacific Railroad subsidiary, the , which ran the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge line for another year.
