Under the name Portland & Seattle Railway. Proceeding eastward from Vancouver, Washington. 1906 also saw the start of construction of the line between Vancouver and Portland, including work on three major new bridges, crossing the Columbia River. The northernmost of these was the first bridge of any kind to be built across the lower Columbia River.

SP&S also operated the Ocean Shore Limited , shown here at Seaside, Oregon. In January 1908 "Spokane" was added to the railroad's name, making it the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway. By 1909 the railroad had completed construction of its line up to Spokane along the Snake River. In 1910 SP&S gained control of the Oregon Electric.

In the end, the railroad opened using mostly the track of the Oregon Trunk, with a short portion of the Oregon & Washington Railway & Navigation Company track, and both railroads used the route (an arrangement that still exists with BNSF owning the majority of the line and UP having trackage rights). The SP&S carried war materials to the Pacific Theatre. New industries located along the Columbia River, taking advantage of cheap electricity from hydroelectric.

New industries served by the SP&S included aluminum plants, sawmills, chemical factories and grain elevators. In 1954 an SP&S train derailed after hitting a rockslide on the route to Bend, Oregon.
