General contractor Lorentz Bruun began work on the Hennebery Eddy-designed Oregon Rail Heritage Center in November and expect to be finished in July.
Groundbreaking set for Oregon Enginehouse and Rail Heritage Center
Crews from Lorentz Bruun Construction will break ground Oct. 21 for the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation鈥檚 Enginehouse and heritage center. The new center, when it opens late next spring, will house historic three steam engines that have been cared for and rehabilitated by the foundation.
Historic locomotive house gets OK from Portland City Council
Portland City Council unanimously passed the package of ordinances restructuring the loan and securing the new site for the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation engine house to be built near OMSI.
For new locomotive facility, site is a real squeeze
Backing up a nearly 70-year-old steam locomotive is impossible, according to Doyle McCormack, president of the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation. So when the foundation moves its three historic steam locomotives to a new facility near OMSI, a 100-foot-diameter turntable will join them.
