Now celebrating its tenth year, ORHF is rolling back Holiday Express ticket prices to less than last year for many of its first weekend runs, November 28-30. For the Oregon Rail Heritage FoundationвЂ™s (ORHF) first annual fundraiser, Holiday Express, two historic steam locomotives launched a new holiday tradition. In December 2005, a new event bonded generations as families rode beside the WillametteRiveron the Oregon Pacific Railroad in Southeast Portland. As the vintage train runs on the Oregon Pacific Railroad along the Willamette River, it doesnвЂ™t take long for the hypnotic movement of the clickety-clack to transport riders to places once visited or imagined. On November 28th as the SP&S 700 pulls out of Oaks Park Station, hissing and billowing steam, it marks the 10th year for the Holiday Express.
