Can I
see the locomotives?
Yes you can, only when they're chugging down the rails, or attending a
special event or excursion such as the Holiday Express. During
downtime, the locomotives are inside a locked structure in the middle
of an active intermodal facility, which is private Union Pacific
Railroad property.
There are no public roads or sidewalks nearby, tours are
not held
due to liability concerns and workplace conditions. The UP Police
regularly patrol the area since their office is a short distance away,
and to respect the railroad's property we ask that you do not trespass.
Trespassers can be fined, imprisioned, or both.
This
only reinforces our mission to build a permanent and accessible home
for the Portland steam locomotives!
How can
I support to your cause?
ORHF is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, allowing you to

locomotives and other historic railroad pieces. Donations may be made
payable to "ORHF" and mailed to our P.O. Box address. |
