Polson Logging Co. No. 2

Polson Logging Co. No. 2 is a 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, PA in 1912 for the Polson Logging Company. It can now be seen at the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad in Garibaldi, OR with McCloud River Railway No. 25. It operated for Saginaw Timber in Washington state, pulling lumber trains. It would go on to serve several different logging railroads in the pacific northwest. In 1980, it was donated to the Illinois Railway Museum and then sold into private ownership in 1982.
As of today, the locomotive is stored operable at the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad and used for special events. However, it was acquired by Rick Franklin in 2022 and will be used on the Oregon Rail Heritage Center's 2022 Holiday Train in Portland, OR due to Southern Pacific No. 4449 being too heavy for the rails the route is set to travel on. After that, it will be moved to its new home at the Albany & Eastern Railroad in Lebanon, OR to operate excursion trains alongside recently restored Santa Maria Valley No. 205.
