- The ORHF mission is to secure a permanent home for the City of
Portland’s steam locomotives, preserve the Brooklyn Roundhouse, and
establish a Rail and Industrial Heritage Museum.
Portland's industrial heritage is entwined with being at the crossroads
of many different railroads for over a century. The east-side Brooklyn
Yard near the Willamette continues to host one of the last remaining
roundhouses with a turntable. Therein live three historic steam
locomotives and most of the heavy machinery necessary to maintain them
by volunteers. The near vincity hosts a variety of historic diesel
locomotives as well as historic passenger cars and other rolling stock.
A permanent home will allow these treasures to be enjoyed by all for generations to come.
ORHF is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, allowing you to
deduct your donation from taxes. Donations to ORHF, whether it be funds
or supplies, are much appreciated and go toward the efforts of building
a permanent, publicly-accessible facility for the City of Portland's
locomotives and other historic railroad pieces. Donations may be made
payable to "ORHF" and mailed to the P.O. Box address.
