Welcome to the official Friends of SP 4449's website. We're a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration, maintenance, and operation of the former Southern Pacific steam locomotive based in Portland, Oregon.
The continued maintenance and operation of SP 4449 relies heavily on volunteer work, fuel and materials, and donations! Your donation to the SP 4449 is tax deductible and greatly appreciated! You can also support the SP 4449 by purchasing one of our concession items, such as our annual calendars featuring detailed shots of the locomotive!
We had a great Year 2011 with a trip to Portland's National Train Day; Cascade Rails in Tacoma and Stampede Pass; 70th Anniversary Daylight via the Columbia River Gorge; and our biggest fundraiser, the Holiday Express. As for this year, we are focused on the construction of our new home, and moving out of Brooklyn Yard.
Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation is blazing forward with the construction of our new home! See ORHF.org for more details.
