The Foamer In Hillsboro
Here is my video covering the move of all the equipment from Brooklyn to the new engine site. I tried to cover as much as I could, while maintain the 15 minute YouTube limit. Hopefully, everyone who has spent many hours either working on, or watching, these locomotives will enjoy this

"On June 26th, 2012, 102 years of Brooklyn Roundhouse operations ceased with this move from the old Southern Pacific Brooklyn Roundhouse to the new Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation Enginehouse. Union Pacific's deadline for the groups to evacuate the property was June 30th, 2012, due to plans to expand their intermodel parking and ramps to spot intermodel trains. SP 4449 (4-8-4), SP&S 700 (4-8-4), O&RN 197 (4-6-2), NKP 190 (ALCo PA), and other equipment were lead out of the roundhouse by NKP 324 (ALCo RSD-5). Though Brooklyn will be missed, a new home for these historic pieces of railroad history is close to reality. The new Enginehouse construction is flowing along nicely, and you can expect a public grand opening on September 22nd, 2012. For more information, please visit http://www.orhf.org."
