Oregon Rail Heritage Center

The ORHF mission is to preserve our permanent home for the City of Portland's steam locomotives 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 vicinity 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.
