KALAMA — A steam locomotive and its tender that sat in Vancouver’s Esther Short Park for 40 years will be returned to the Pacific Northwest and displayed at the Port of Kalama after port commissioners agreed this week to purchase it.
...
The locomotive was retired in 1957 after logging some 174,378 miles without a major accident or derailment, according to Columbian archives. It was displayed in Esther Short Park until 1997, when it was moved to Battle Ground for a potential restoration that was never completed. In 2007 it was acquired by the Grand Canyon Railway and moved to Arizona.
