Sumpter Valley Railway Mikado Number 19
Number 19, Round Trip $545.00
Built for the Sumpter Valley Railway by the American Locomotive Works in 1920, this 113-ton Mikado 2-8-2 was the last new steam locomotive purchased by the line. Though built for service in Oregon, number 19 also operated on the White Pass & Yukon in Alaska before being retired in 1958. In 1977 the Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration Inc. returned the locomotive to Oregon, and undertook a complete restoration. Repairs were completed in 1996, and number 19 has been in regular service ever since.
