 Terminal Ice takes its name from an Ice Company that existed for many years in Hillsboro, Oregon. Terminal Ice was located next to the old Birdseye Cannery. The cannery used to set at the crossing of  the old Southern Pacific Tillamook Branch which followed  Adams Street and the Oregon Electric (SP&S) line that went through Hillsboro on Washington Street. The cannery was served by a spur from the SP off Adams Street and Terminal Ice had a spur from the old Oregon Electric Line. The Oregon Electric spur may have extended far enough to also serve Birdseye, but I don't recall and can not confirm that.

My memories of Terminal Ice recalls reefers set on the spur, but that was after Ice Reefer days. I presume they were shipping bulk ice in Mechanical refers at that time. They also supplied Bulk Ice locally shipping by refrigerated trucks.

While the Terminal Ice Kit borrows it's name from history; the actual building depicted in this kit was entirely different from the prototype. There was no icing platform that I remember, but  one may have existed before my time/memory. I have found no photo evidence to prove/disprove an Icing Platform existed earlier than the late 1950's. My memories of these sites is good from the early 1960's forward.

Want to Change the Name and Personalize Terminal Ice

Sidetrack Laser offers you the option of Changing the name on Terminal Ice. We will provide you with a new Laser Cut Graphic to replace the Roof Peak piece as well as provide you with a new sign for the side of the building also bearing your new name.

The only catch is your new name must fit in the area provided on the factory Graphics. This means you have 12 character spaces....this includes blank spaces.....to fit your new name in. The limitation of space is governed by the building sign. Contact us with any questions before you purchase this option.
