The Willamette Lives!
A historic moment... For the first time in 48 years, Rayonier Willamette #2 moves under her own power. With Jim Gertz, the man who donated the locomotive to Mt Rainier Scenic RR, at the throttle, the engine makes her first test run after a long restoration. The tests went well, and the engine is on track for her public debut on August 8th.
