Oregon DMV warns of fake texts threatening registration suspension unless you pay
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.

National Train Day celebrated at Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — May 9 is National Train Day and the Oregon Rail Heritage Center is celebrating all weekend long.
Guests are able to get up and personal with the numerous steam engines and hop on board for a short ride along the Southeast Portland waterfront near OMSI.
“They don’t get them running that often, but when they do, it’s nice. The price for admission is fine because we know it’s going towards putting money into the trains again, which I’ll always love doing that. So it just keeps them going longer and just so everyone else can enjoy them,” said Kyle Gentile, visiting from Canby.
The event continues on Sunday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.The Oregon Rail Heritage Center has more information about the event.
