The Oregon Rail Heritage Center is an interesting place for all who live in Portland to visit. This can be an especially great place for families with little ones who love trains. Come often to see the changing exhibits about the history of the railroad in Oregon. In addition to the exhibits, guests are able to go on a guided tour of the big engines, shop at the giftshop, and even take a short train ride. The Oregon Rail Heritage Center is home to three locomotives, two of which have been restored after sitting out in the weather for many years. The third locomotive is currently being restored and will join this group of operating locomotives upon completion. All who live in Portland are invited to come visit on a Saturday and enjoy a short trip on the Oregon Pacific Railroad to the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Call 503-233-1156 to inquire about this train ride.
