SPS700

Spokane, Portland & Seattle No. 700 is a E-1 class 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive built in 1938 by the Baldwin locomotive Works. 

History

After retirement from service in 1956, the SP&S 700 was donated to the City of Portland, Oregon in 1958. It was on static public display at Oaks Amusement Park until 1987, then moved to private quarters for the continuation of work to restore it to operating condition. It began making occasional excursion runs in 1990. In 2012, the 700 was moved to a new facility where it can again be viewed by the public, the Oregon Rail Heritage Center.
