Oregon Rail Heritage Center, Railroad museum in Southeast Portland, United States.

The Oregon Rail Heritage Center displays steam locomotives, diesel engines, and railway equipment in a large indoor facility near the Willamette River.

The center opened in 2012 to preserve three steam locomotives from 1958, including Southern Pacific 4449, which carried the American Freedom Train during 1976.

Educational programs and exhibits demonstrate the impact of railroads on Portland's development as a major transportation hub in the Pacific Northwest.

The museum welcomes visitors Thursday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, offering free admission with suggested donations to support operations.

A restored 102-foot turntable from 1924 allows mechanics to rotate massive locomotives for maintenance and display purposes at the facility.
