The locomotive made a background cameo appearance in the 1993 Warner brothers film: free Willy.

You are correct. Both locomotives that the Inward Northwest Rail Museum owns have been moved to the new site 27 miles up the old 108 mile Northern Pacific branch line outside of Spokane. I would really like to see this pacific run again. I would also, even though it is NOT steam, that electric engine that they have run again, if they can get the money to run the third rail.

The 3206 belongs to the Inland Empire Railway Society. Who are planning on moving the engine to Reardan, Washington. The Engine itself was last steamed 100 p.s.i in the autumn of 1980. It was steamed during the Spokane County Fair. When the whistle would be blown....horses a quarter of a mile away would thrash wildly about in their stalls. If you compare this engine to the sister steam locomotive, the 3203 in Portland, Oregon. This engine is in fair better shape overall. (Metal it seems, does not care too much for a constant high level of humidity)

The "Alco-Schenectady Construction Number List" indicates that Construction Numbers 30035 through 30038, Road Numbers 90 through 93 (This could be a misprint; actual numbers may be 190 through 193), were shipped to "Oregon Railway & Navigation" during August of 1904. All of the units were 4-6-2's and had a "Specified" total weight of 222,000 pounds (this is not necessarily the "Actual" total weight).
