OREGON RAIL HERITAGE FOUNDATION

Description

ORHF is home to the City's three operating steam locomotives, an industrial rail maintenance & machine shop, vintage rail cars, and working museum. The Center is located one block from OMSI.

Located at the hub of rail activity - the Oregon Pacific and Union Pacific railroads, the Eastside Streetcar and Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail stations, the Center is surrounded by over a hundred years of rail activity. It is home to the City of Portland's three operating steam locomotives, a working industrial machine shop, and a variety of vintage rail cars. The Center is located one block from OMSI, the Portland Spirit, and the Portland Opera.

ORHF's volunteers operate the museum and gift shop, maintain the locomotives and rolling stock, educate more than 20,000 visitors each year, and provide 72 round-trip Holiday Express excursions from Oaks Park in late Fall, to the delight of nearly 10,000 children and their parents. The Center hosts birthday parties, as well as corporate events.
