They sure pulled everything out - wish they'd do that for the Steam-Up!!

The museum grounds now also houses a Jordan Spreader, an operable ex-SP steam crane and a former Portland Terminal Railroad Alco S-2 located just northwest of the trolley barn. The trolley group has started construction of their museum/office building (to be a replica of a SP depot), and the former Brooks depot is also on the site (used for the Brooks Historical Society).

The various Portland groups are planning their museum to be located just east of OMSI at the junction of the UP mainline and the Oregon Pacific Railroad, along with the future Milwaukie MAX and the Eastside Streetcar Loop lines. It appears though, all of the previous museum proposals involved saving and relocating the Brooklyn Roundhouse, but I heard last week that the roundhouse will simply be razed. The turntable will likely be saved. That museum is still many years away...
