In the spring of 1995, Mt. Rainier scenic railroad operated a special geared triple header in Washington. Their whistles from each locomotives were beautiful and they even echoed off in the distance. There was even a tank engine for photographers alike. The tourist line was one of the most popular train rides in the Pacific Northwest and wish they were operating forever but unfortunately due to Covid-19 and it’s financial loses, it was decided to close the chapter after 40 years of service. Only time will tell that any of these miraculous locomotives should operate again.

On one weekend in late April of 1995, climax 10, shay 11, heisler 91, & 2-8-2 tank engine number 17 performs a spectacular show for railfans in the beautiful northwest corner of the United States. Which includes a cab ride on heisler 91, a ride on the observation car behind number 17, & some from the open air car. Unfortunately due to the outbreak of the coronavirus from China as well as tons of financial loses, the railroad went out of business after carrying passengers in the Pacific northwest for 40 years. Where will the locomotives & rolling stock that served on the Elbe to mineral line as well as extended trips to Morton & Eatonville? Only time would tell.
