NRM has decided to return 0-6-0 #924 and 4-6-0 #14 to operation. The #11 will be a display-only engine for the foreseeable future.

No. 11 is not going to be restored first.  Once the CRSC is complete, the current operational locomotives and cars will be fixed.  Once they are fixed, then the depot will restore No. 11 to operational status.

US Plywood Corp. #11 will not be operational by the end of this year, 2005, I don't know where the person got that information, but the information is not correct.

Most likely the shop will not be finished untill late summer and the restoration of the #11, may take anywhere from 1-2 years.

The #11 may also not go into the shop for awhile as there are other projects that are higher on the list of projects to be done. It also will be awhile before another steam locomotive is rebuilt.

the restoration is complete. after the shop is built the locomotive will be operating late this year. #11 will be the second operating logger in america. after the shop is built the other engines will be restored and operate with #11. 2-6-6-2 #6 might be back operating with #11 in a few years after the shop is built.

Speaking as a participant, the cosmetic restoration is not on hold; it is progressing on a weekly basis and is nearly complete.  The 11 looks great, please come down and see it.  Operational restoration will hopefully being sometime next year, when our new shop building is constructed.

The locomotive was sold to Kosmos Timber Co. in 1950.  After a corporate sale to U.S. Plywood Corp., it was donated to the University of Washington.  Ownership transferred to Washington State Parks in 1972, and they have leased the locomotive to the Northwest Railway Musem (formerly the PSRHA) ever since.  Hope this fills in the gaps in the ownership history.

Thank you for the new picture, but the location for this and the other Snoqualmie locomotives still needs to be changed to Northwest Railway Museum.

It might interest you to know that some photos of this locomotive taken in February 2003 in front of Snoqualmie depot (with its smokebox front reattached and primered) can be found at Jon Davis' loggingmallets.railfan.net site, an informative website on Baldwin logging mallets.

Restoration on this locomotive at this time is cosmetic.  It has been moved from the Museum's storage facility to the front of Snoqualmie depot (also owned by the Northwest Railway Museum).  A photo of it in this location can be found at steamlocomotive.com.  The #11 will be moved to the Museum's planned shop facility after it is constructed for a restoration to service.  Also, the Puget Sound Railway Historical Association and the Puget Sound & Snoqualmie Valley RR were both renamed the Northwest Railway Museum in 1997.
