The Oregon Eastern Railway was a predecessor of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company that acquired or built most of the Natron Cutoff (a.k.a. Cascade Line) in northern California and southern Oregon, United States. It also made surveys and acquired right-of-way in eastern Oregon, which were subsequently sold to Union Pacific Railroad subsidiary Oregon–Washington Railroad and Navigation Company.
The Natron Cutoff is on the National Register of Historic Places, considered significant to the period 1905 to 1945.[1] The eastern line is now the similarly named Oregon Eastern Railroad
