Quote:Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation
We are proud that Portland is unique as America's only city that owns two operating steam locomotives - the Southern Pacific 4449 and the Spokane Portland Seattle 700; along with a third - Oregon Railway & Navigation 197 - currently under restoration. The SP 4449 pulled our nation's Bicentennial Train and may well be the most photographed locomotive in the world. Now these engines need your help!
After their donation to the city in 1958, these three steam engines sat in the weather at Oaks Amusement Park for decades. Starting in 1980 each moved for restoration to the Brooklyn Roundhouse in southeast Portland. It took three decades and thousands of volunteer hours to get restore two of them into operating condition.
