This goes to show that a little engine can make a lot of noise! It is an ALCO built B-4 0-6-0 switch engine, built in August 1920, equipped with power reverse, Walschaert valve motion, piston valves, superheaters, and a 5000 gallon tender. It has two whistles, the larger one is a 6 chime and the smaller one is a 3 chime. The locomotive weighs 150000 pounds, and it has a tractive effort of 31200 pounds. It was built to operate at a pressure of 180 pounds per square inch and it continues to operate at that pressure today. WMSTR acquired the engine and modified it slightly; the superheaters were removed, and the footboard on the front was replaced with a boilertube "cow catcher". It also got a...

Our Cass train was hauled by a Shay and a Heisler. Both are geared locomotives, designed for use with steep grades and sharp curves (which abound at Cass, a former lumber line). The Shays are the big attraction at Cass -- it has the largest collection of operating Shays in the world. The locos are always on the downhill end of the train (for safety reasons), so they basically push the cars up Bald Mountain, then pull them down again. There are two locos going up (for speed and power), and just one coming down (when gravity helps!). The brakes on the cars are used during the descent to keep the train under careful control, especially on the switchbacks where the locomotive is at the uphill...

The Spokane, Portland & Seattle 700 is a Northern type E1 class 4-8-4 steam locomotive. It is maintained by the The Pacific Railroad Preservation Association.It is one of three steam engines that live at the Brooklyn Roundhouse in Portland, Oregon. The Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation is now looking for a new home for these engines - since the Union Pacific has other plans for the space. I took this video at the oopening of the Spring Water Corridor between OMSI (the oregon Museum of Science and Industry) and Oaks Park in June 2003. I had a big Sony PD 250 camera from PCM down on the ground about 5 feet from the tracks. It was a fun experience as the train roared by! Coyoteco
