The East Side Railway was a railway company in the state of Oregon in the United States. It was established in 1892 to construct an electrified interurban railway line between Portland and Oregon City, on the east side of the Willamette River. This line opened in 1893; the company failed financially and was acquired by the Portland City and Oregon Railway in 1901.
