Burned loco in Oregon

Post by Greg_Lewis »

This photo is from today's fire news. Does anyone know what that is (looks like an SW7 to me) or anything more about the railroad? Thanks.

I think it might be an SW-8 (not that you can tell) and this was the mill switcher at the lumber mill out by Molalla that burned.

Oregon Pacific Railroad 801 on the Mollala branch at RGS Lumber in Liberal, OR. If you do Facebook they have the info on their page.

Thanks, Bob. A 1951 SW-8. The FB page says it is probably not salvageable. Sad.
