Your purchase helps support the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are honored to be the appointed caretakers of 3 steam locomotives owned by the city of Portland, Oregon. The collection includes the world famous SP 4449 Daylight locomotive, originally restored to pull the American Freedom Train in 1975-76. The magnificent SP&S 700 is also an operational 4-8-4 which came back to life in 1990. They are joined by their little sister, the OR&N197, a Pacific 4-6-2 which will steam up again in about 2 years.
All three are located at the new Oregon Rail Heritage Center, a working engine house, allowing public access to the locomotives. We receive no support from the city, but rely solely upon volunteers and donations. Your support is deeply appreciated.
