Spring brings out the best in Oregon’s landscape and wildlife, offering an opportunity to glimpse a bevy of deer!
Snacks and adult & kid-friendly beverages will be available for purchase. Onboard activities for kids of all ages.
45-minute round-trip train rides pulled by the BNSF 3613 diesel locomotive will depart from the Enginehouse at 2250 SE Water Avenue in Portland.
In addition, we will have a steam locomotive displayed on the turntable and will offer demonstrations of a full rotation every hour beginning at 1:00pm.
