	Columbia River Highway
		The Highway leading toward the Pacific Ocean, is of equal attraction in its scenic environments.
		Engineering difficulties here were as great as on the upper highway where mountains were blasted to make way for modern roadways and modern travel.
		The construction of this wonderful Highway, leading from Portland, Oregon to the heart of the Cascade Mountains, is a noteworthy feat of high class engineering that compares favorably with any in the world.

	Columbia River Highway Background
		The highway is a significant engineering feat because it was an early application of cliff-face road building applied to automobile highway construction.
		The engineer for the highway was Samuel C. Lancaster (1864-1941).
		The Oregon Highway Commission called the highway "probably the most difficult and costly highway construction undertaken in America," and estimated its cost to be $11,000,000.

		The operations deal with the control of the system, such as traffic signals and ramp meters, railroad switches, air traffic control, etc, as well as policies, such as how to finance the system (e.g use of tolls or gas taxes[?] in the case of highway transport.).
		Broadly speaking, the design of networks are the domain of civil engineering and urban planning, the design of vehicles of mechanical engineering and specialized subfields such as nautical engineering[?] and aerospace engineering, and the operations are usually specialized, though might appropriately belong to operations research or systems engineering.
		Modes are combinations of networks, vehicles, and operations, and include walking, the automobile/ highway system, railroads, maritime transport (ships, waterways, and harbors), and modern air transport (airplanes, airports, and air traffic control).
