All Aboard on Saturday, May 7th - from 10 am - 4 pm - as we celebrate National Train Day at Portland's Union Station. At this free event you can join ORHF friends and supporters to see vintage and other rail equipment on display - including Portland's very own SP 4449 steam locomotive - and celebrate Amtrak’s 40th Birthday.
You can visit the ORHF booth and learn the latest about the All Aboard campaign to save Portland's heritage steam engines. See what the new Rail Heritage Enginehouse near OMSI will look like.  Â
Enter to Win a Holiday Express Cab Ride in the SP 4449 or a Holiday Express giftpak (4 tickets). The cab ride is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Merchandise and posters for sale. All proceeds will go to build the new Enginehouse & Rail Heritage Center in the OMSI District. And you can make a contribution to the capital campaign.
At National Train Day you and your family will learn more about trains, railroad history, model trains and exciting destinations served by Amtrak. Prizes will be given away throughout the day, including a grand prize trip to Vancouver, BC with a two night stay.
It’s a perfect time to share your passion for trains and reconnect with one of Portland's very own steam locomotives, the SP 4449. This mighty engine is one of our great, local Iron Horse links to our illustrious Oregon rail history. Peer into the cab, take photos with the family and make a day of it.
We hope to see you there!
