The 38th Edition of the Great Oregon Steam-Up happens July 26-27 & August 2-3 at Antique Powerland Museum in Brooks Oregon. APM is located just west of I-5 at the Brooks exit, about 8 miles north of Salem.
Gates open at 7 AM and close at 6 PM. The big parade happens at 1:30 PM.
Come by and see all the historic equipment. Thanks to the Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society, the Pacific Northwest Chapter - National Railway Historical Society has three pieces of rail history on display. Visit our booth at our MOW exhibit which includes our newly restored Flanger, Jordan Spreader and new this year our 1943 Alco S-2 #36 (former PTRR). And expect the Steam Fiends to be operating their steam railway crane.
Admission is $8.00 (children 12 and under are FREE). More information: www.antiquepowerland.com or 503.393.2424.
Other railway groups having booths this year are the Pacific Railroad Preservation Association (PRPA) and new this year, Friends of SP 4449. And don't forget the Willow Creek Railroad!
