The Holiday Express, Steam Train Rides December 5, 2008

Come out and ride behind one of Portland's historic Steam Engines! This family friendly event will take you on a 45 minute adventure back in time. Ride in vintage rail cars heated from the steam of the locomotive.

Trains depart from Oaks Park Station and travel north along the Willamette river with unforgettable views of the river and city.

Trains will be pulled by either the SP 4449 or the SP&S 700, two of the five largest operating steam locomotives in the nation.

This event is a benefit for the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation and its mission to build a permanent home for the City of Portland's three steam locomotives.
