The V&T has started working on 100 to bring her back to operation and are currently estimating to have her complete by 2024!!! It will be great to have her back on the rails again!

Hi, my Grandad was Urban "Pross" Rondeau and he was one of the engineers for the 100 when working at Camp Walker/Port Ludlow. My mother often rode this locomotive with her dad at Camp Walker when she was small. To reply (a little late) to Anthony above, Mom does not recall the 100 ever being used at Port Gamble, as there was no Hood Canal Bridge at the time.

This locomotive also ran on another tourist railroad in Arizona that is long gone now called the White Mountain Scenic Railroad, along with the Sierra 36. The railroad closed in 1976.
