Western Railroad Discussion > A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday…Date: 09/05/22 00:12 A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: MrMRL Nice day in Portland, OR yesterday. Among other things, time was taken to visit the ORHC to visit some of the pieces on display...
1. SP 4449 2. NKP 190 3. UP 96 outside w/ SP heater car and local light rail.    Date: 09/05/22 00:15 Re: A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: MrMRL 4-5. SP&S 700 under serious inspection
Mr. MRL ~ enjoyed Voodoo Donuts...   Date: 09/05/22 06:18 Re: A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: Bob3985 It is good to see old UP96 still working.
Wegot plenty of work done out of it when it was here in Cheyenne.

I believe the heater car is ex-SP&S and was painted to match the 4449. I can be corrected on that.

Date: 09/05/22 09:05 Re: A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: asheldrake the steam heater car is used at ORHC to start our steam locos.......I like to tell our visitors "one doesn't wake old guys or old steel quickly". the 96 is the ORHC switcher and is really appreciated.. ORHC is open today. Arlen

Those 4 PA's sent to Mexico, just got the hell beaten out of them, with wrecks and no preservation efforts.

Date: 09/05/22 15:48 Re: A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: mojaveflyer Is the 4449 still operable or is it "stuffed and mounted"?

Date: 09/05/22 22:10 Re: A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: asheldrake Jack....I understand that the "little boy" will lose both its applied name and number when repainted.......thus removing this visitor question.
as to the 4449 being operational.....the poster much have missed the charter posting a few weeks ago. Arlen Date: 09/06/22 09:07 Re: A few views from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center yesterday… Author: nathansixchime BigDave Wrote:
