Rayonier #2 -- A Willamette Lives Again

Rayonier employee Jim Gertz purchased Rayonier #2, a Willamette (not a Shay) geared locomotive, from his employer when steam was giving way to diesels on the company’s Clallam (Sekiu, Washington) operations.

In January 2008, the shop crew at the then- Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad in Mineral, Washington, began the daunting task of restoring the #2 –one of only six Wlllamette steam locomotives in existence – to operation. Under the guidance of general manager Brian Wise the expert crew painstakingly brought the locomotive back to good-as-new condition.

The DVD includes chapters on the loco during reassembly, operation, and and commentary by Jim Gertz.
