Rayonier #2 made its first public operation on August 8, 2009. It is now in the shop receiving boiler insulation, jacketing, and a few other tune-up items. The #2, as is customary with the geared locomotives at MRSR, is not going to be used on the regularly scheduled excursions, rather for special event purposes only.

The Rayonier #2 is actually a Willammette, an alternative (competitor) to the the Lima Shay. It has many similarities, but two types can be distinguished by the orientation of the valves on the 3 steam engines on the engineer's side. This engine is surprisingly complete and corrosion has not taken hold. It spent most of its retired life under cover, protected from the elements.
