The Northwest Railway Museum has successfully tested Rogers-built 0-6-0 locomotive 924. The 1899 model served the Northern Pacific until 1923 when it was retired and later sold to the Inland Empire Paper Company in Spokane. This 19th Century artifact has been undergoing rehabilitation and restoration at the Museum's facility in Snoqualmie for a number of years, and is soon ready to pull some varnish.

The convertible cab top probably helped with the heat. Good idea.

She's going to be great when she's done - nice work and happy to have some good news for a change.

Congrats to all involved. Great little video. So much fun and excitement when shaking out the bugs and knocking your "todo" list down. Hopefully nothing big comes up. She does sound like she has stack talk for sure. Again congrats.
Regards, John.

The Pacific Northwest Railway Museum has a nice fleet of wood passenger cars that they have been restoring for her to pull when she is finished. You can follow their activity on their blog. No sign in necessary.
