This came through on my flickr feed. She is looking really good for a park engine without cover.

Ah, the S-4 class. Several other survivors remain. One (1364) is undergoing restoration in Toppenish, near Yakima, Washington. 1356 is in Missoula, Montana. 1354 is in Pasco, Washington.

Even though originally built in the early 1900's, these lasted until the end of steam on the NP, I'm guessing because their light weight was easy on branch lines and the bridges on branch lines. They were popular with crews and would make a great engine for operation today.

For vintage photos of S-4's, including one compound, see my website's S-4 pagehttp://www.earthseaimagery.com/np-s4.html

I have an extensive collection of NP steam photos here, http://www.earthseaimagery.com/npcollection.html taken by my father (NP conductor) and Tom (TC) Miller (NP engineer).
