| Post subject: | Snoqualmie Falls Lumber #6 (2-6-2T) on Vancouver Island |
I'd like to inquire if anyone here knows the condition, status, and future of this locomotive. It was built as Snoqualmie Falls Lumber #6, and it exists today as Canadian Forest Products (CANFOR) #112, at Beaver Cove, Vancouver Island. From recent photos on the web, it actually looks pretty well-preserved. The paint looks intact. And the loco seems to be "all there". Some photos: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4574086046_a8bb4774c8_z.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/northstar9/4090484569/ http://members.shaw.ca/preservedsteambc/vancouver_island.htm I'm inquiring simply because I'm a Seattle-area native and interested in what's left of the local logging railroad scene. The Snoqualmie Valley had some interesting logging operations. I've wondered about CANFOR #112 for several years now... I wonder what will happen to it? Any guesses (favorable or not) about the fate of this locomotive? Thanks everyone. |
