About

For decades, these locomotives were stored behind a chain-link fence at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon. In 1974, the Southern Pacific 4449 was restored and used to power the American Freedom Train in celebration of the nation’s bicentennial. In later years, all three locomotives were moved to the historic Brooklyn Roundhouse in southeast Portland. When Union Pacific announced plans to expand its yard and remove the Brooklyn Roundhouse, the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation (ORHF) was created to shelter the locomotives into the future. In 2012, ORHF opened the Oregon Rail Heritage Center, a 20,000-square-foot Enginehouse designed to preserve, maintain, and showcase these historic locomotives.
