Trainorders rumor concerning this rare but much-modeled 2-4-4-2:

That is a fact. The Deep River #7 small parts were all gathered up and placed in a shipping container about a month ago. The boiler is easily accessible... the frame less so, but not impossible to get at if the mud isn't too bad (it's at the end of a old log reload spur).

I was forwarded an email by a friend who knows Chris Baldo. Chris intends to restore the #7 to operation and it sounds like he's wants to get started quickly.

Before being stored at Mineral, the #7 was also stored for several years at Snoqualmie (see Bob's post regarding the #11 above).
