One of these, the SP 4449, pulled the American Freedom Train around the country during the nation's Bicentennial celebration in 1974-75. In addition to the Portland locomotives, we maintain and operate two vintage diesel switcher locomotives and have been designated by the Oregon Historical Society to be permanent owners of the Mount Emily Shay No. 1. The Shay will form the core of an evolving exhibit about the essential role played by railroads in building Oregon's logging economy. Historical railroad equipment and artifacts are on display throughout our museum and rail yard. We strive to bring the Pacific Northwest's rich and diverse railroad history alive for our visitors. We are a free museum, open 4 days per week. We are staffed by volunteers who are committed to and passionate about our mission. More than 35,000 people visit the museum each year. We host regular events for members that feature speakers and presentations focused on local railroad history. We showcase both permanent and temporary exhibits. We will soon complete our latest and most massive exhibitthe completely restored 99-year-old Brooklyn Turntable. Originally operating in the Southern Pacific (now Union Pacific) Brooklyn Railyard a few miles south of the museum, the turntable was dismantled and moved to our current location when our building opened in 2012. Rehabilitating the Carnegie steel turntable bridge and its moving parts will stretch at least five years, culminating in a Grand ReOpening in fall 2023. In addition to its educational function, the turntable will expedite movement of locomotives and rail equipment inside the Enginehouse and in the railyard. 89687 560887 Holiday Express is our foundation's signature event and chief fundraiser. For four weekends between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Holiday Express excursion trains carry sold-out crowds--mostly families with young children. Vintage rail cars, decorated and lighted inside and out, are pulled by one of the organization's steam locomotives or, in recent years, by a logging steam locomotive on loan to the museum. Passengers enjoy holiday-themed music and displays inside the Enginehouse while waiting to board. The museum's gift shop is open, and hot chocolate and cookies are sold. Each of the 80 or so runs travels 45 minutes along the Springwater Corridor next to the Willamette River south to Oaks Amusement Park and back. Inside the train, Santa and his elves dispense holiday cheer and candy canes to riders of all ages. Some 150 volunteers work tirelessly to create a memorable holiday experience for more than 19,000 riders. While Holiday Express anchors our year-end offerings, the Oregon Rail Heritage Center also operates weekend train excursions from March through October. Traveling the same route as the Holiday Express, these outings offer open-air cars and themed celebrations. The motive power for these rides can be steam or diesel, depending on the excursion's theme. 642935 true true false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X RENEE DEVEREUX 5032331156 PO BOX 42443 PORTLAND OR 97242 X TODD LANDWEHR Treasurer 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RICK FRANKLIN President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JON BREWSTER AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE DOTTERRER AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE HICKOK AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE HIKEL AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN HOLLOWAY AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID JORLING Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN KARLSSON AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICK MICHAELSON AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN PIXLEY REP PARKS & REC 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK REYNOLDS REP NRHS, PNW 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM THOMAS AT-LARGE MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM VANDERBECK REP PRPA-SP&S 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER WOEHL Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 37240 506230 507131 1050601 HOLIDAY EXPRESS 900099 560887 560887 TRAIN RIDES 900099 68774 68774 629661 21304 21304 0 0 14385 14385 14385 14385 0 0 0 139644 77219 62425 62425 Other Income 900099 14567 14567 14567 1792943 706653 35689 0 0 0 0 0 0 138701 138701 0 6540 6540 11402 11402 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18002 18002 6190 6190 0 0 48653 48653 0 0 0 1101 1101 0 157428 157428 53984 53984 RAIL EQUIPMENT 98810 98810 HOLIDAY EXPRESS EXPENSES 89687 89687 HISTORIC TRAIN EXPENSE 32112 32112 EVENTS EXPENSE 20552 20552 57791 28978 28813 740953 642935 98018 0 343541 528120 40058 209424 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8833103 1281257 3565851 7551846 920406 207539 0 0 0 2626799 52374 7496655 8549303 658 0 658 X 7496655 8548645 7496655 8548645 7496655 8549303 1051990 X false false false X 990386 313354 1187039 433823 1050601 3975203 0 0 990386 313354 1187039 433823 1050601 3975203 0 3975203 34126 10652 2797 24133 21304 93012 3853 38617 42470 128712 42240 81146 147859 139644 539601 4650286 498098 0.85480 0.83430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X false 1234344 1234344 2940204 835538 2104666 4604880 397868 4207012 45662 39838 5824 8013 8013 7551846 Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o GAAP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES NOT PREPARED BY THE ORGANIZATION.
