Portland’s three steam locomotives won’t be calling the Brooklyn Roundhouse home for much longer. This photo (by Christopher Fussell) shows, from the left, the SP&S 700, the SP4449 and the OR&N 197.
 

Everything needs to be moved out of the Roundhouse before June 30th, 2012.
 

As the new Enginehouse takes shape in the OMSI District, ORHF and its member groups are packing up tools, supplies and materials at the Roundhouse and preparing to move the locomotives and remaining rolling stock. The 100’ long turntable will be removed and stored until it can be ready for installation in a future phase of the new Oregon Rail Heritage Center development.
 

The locomotives will be the last to leave the place where volunteers have maintained and restored them for over three decades.
