Seeing The 4449 At The Roundhouse
As much as we'd like to, we cannot hold regular public tours due to liability and safety concerns. The locomotive is inside a locked facility on the Union Pacific Railroad, and there are no public roads or sidewalks available. Surrounding the facility is an active intermodal yard, and we ask that you do not trespass, and please respect the railroad's private property. This only reinforces ORHF's mission, to build a new home for Portland's three steam locomotives, which would then be open for the public to see. Thank you for being safe!

Trips And Excursions
We're always working to run an excursion, or make a special appearance, however that can take up to 2-3 years of planning, as well as obtaining approvals and insurance. When a public trip is announced, information will be available on this website. If a trip is sponsored by a group or company who wishes to keep mum on the schedule, there is no further information we can provide.
