Train Rides

All Aboard for Adventure!

Whether you’re joining us for a scenic weekend ride or a festive holiday excursion behind a vintage steam locomotive, each journey invites you to relax, enjoy sweeping river views, and connect with the rich railroading legacy of our region.

All roundtrip excursions depart from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center and travel along the east bank of the Willamette River. After passing the iconic Oaks Amusement Park, the train returns to the ORHC. Each ride lasts approximately 40 minutes.

Advance ticket purchase recommended. Admission to the Center is included with your train ticket.
