SP 4449

Welcome to the official Friends of SP 4449's website, we're a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration, maintenance, and operation of the former Southern Pacific 4-8-4 steam locomotive based in Portland, Oregon.

Our Next Outing: Cruisin' Sherwood!

Cruisin' Sherwood '08
June 14 (click for details)
We're going to Cruisin' Sherwood, and bringing the steam locomotive with us! It'll be our fourth year hanging around the awesome 650+ custom and classic cars!

Our Uncertain Future & ORHF's Mission

We are anticipating a possible notice to vacate the grounds, and as it stands today there is no home for Portland's three steam locomotives to retreat to.

The Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation is in the process of acquiring property in southeast Portland, and your help is needed. See ORHF for more info and the latest news.

New 4449 Videos!

Train Artisan and Marcam Productions produced excellent videos of recent outings, featuring unique on-board cameras and behind-the-scenes footage. See Train Artisan, and Marcam Productions for video previews and purchase. A portion of their proceeds benefits the ORHF!
