While not narrow gauge, she was probably small enough to qualify...

Last I heard, this 1908 or so Baldwin 2-4-4-2 was being rebuilt in Wash state.

The story I heard is she derailed and tipped over in the woods of WA in 1955 and was abandoned there for many years (and wouldn't we all like to stumble on another some-forgotten one of those?...)

Pulled out later and stored in pieces near Mineral, WA (Mt Rainier Scenic RR?)

Anybody know anything about this engine?
Love to see - and hear - it run...
