| Title: |
Climbing aboard Saginaw Timber Company No. 2 |
| Description: |
As of 2024, this was the most recent locomotive to operate in steam as part of Mid-Continent Railway's roster; for Snow Train in February, 2000. Unfortunately, following its restoration to operational condition by 2015-16, its then-owner Skip Lichter and the museum's board were unable to come to terms on a new operating lease agreement. The locomotive has since been moved to the Pacific Northwest where it has operated on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad. |

Activity in the Mid-Continent Railway shops as #2 is prepared for a steam test |
| Description: |
While much of the media attention has gone to the C&NW 1385, this locomotive has quietly come much closer to being ready for operation. It last operated in 2/2000. |

PLC 2 gets a (so far) rare day basking in the sunlight |
| Description: |
The famous 1385 sat forlorn on a siding at the museum for many years until restoration work began in earnest a few years ago, but #2 has been largely hidden from the public eye since it last operated in the year 2000. |

CBQ 4978 looks good |
| Description: |
This class O1a Mikado is the centerpiece of the small but well-maintained railroad museum based out of the Mendota Amtrak station. All the connecting rods and valve gear are intact too, instead of being torched off like so many locomotives. |
