Pendleton lies along the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] (UP), constructed originally through the area in the 1880s by the [[Oregon Railway and Navigation Company]] (OR&N). In 1880, the OR&N began construction of a rail line from Portland through the Columbia Gorge to eastern Oregon. It reached [[Umatilla, Oregon|Umatilla]] and [[Wallula, Washington|Wallula]] in 1881, Pendleton in 1882, and then [[La Grande, Oregon|La Grande]], [[Baker City, Oregon|Baker City]], and [[Huntington, Oregon|Huntington]], where by 1884 it met the UP line from Utah. Since Pendleton was also connected by rail to the [[Northern Pacific Railway|Northern Pacific]] line at Wallula and [[Walla Walla, Washington|Walla Walla]], by 1885 it was a stop on two transcontinental lines. The UP absorbed the OR&N line in 1889.<ref>{{cite web|last=Minor|first=Woodruff|title=Ordinance 3835 Exhibit E|url=http://www.pendleton.or.us/sites/pendleton.or.us/files/File/Exhibit%20E%20Tech%20Memo%2011.3%20Historic%20Resources%20Inventory.pdf|publisher=City of Pendleton|date=August 31, 2012|access-date=August 27, 2014}}</ref>
