Henry Villard purchased the Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad and the Newcastle Mine in 1879. To consolidate these and other holdings around Puget Sound, Villard created the Oregon Improvement Company in October 1880. The OIC purchased the Seattle & Walla Walla Railroad (including the Seattle Coal & Transportation Co.), the Franklin coal mine and the town of Franklin. Consolidation of these companies gave Villard extensive control over the coal deposits in the Newcastle region. On November 26, 1880 the deal was complete, and the S&WW was reincorporated it as the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad. The Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad eventually went bankrupt, ceasing to be in March 1916. State: Washington City: Date: 1800's
