Oregon rail history was brought alive by the three historic steam locomotives, the 1941 Southern Pacific 4449, the 1938 Spokane, Portland and Seattle 700, and the 1905 Oregon Rail and Navigation 197 which were all on display in their new engine house accompanied on site by two diesel locomotives, a PA-1 and RSD-5, and six heritage passenger cars outside. The 4449 was steamed up with its head poked out the engine house door and gave an occasional toot to the delight of the attendees. The weekend visitors got to view the cabs of both 4449 and 700. A very extensive Lego exhibit included a model of the Portland Customs house as well as Portland Union Station. The Operation Lifesaver trailer was on hand to educate the guests. The kids enjoyed a Chuggington Station play area. Tours were given of three heritage passenger cars including the 1941 SP "James J. Gilmore" parlor/lounge round end observation, the 1954 SP "Gordon Zimmerman" Baggage Car, and the 1950 SP&S Mount Hood Sleeper-Lounge Car.
