Moving Day!! For the Historic Weyerhaeuser Locomotive.
An historic locomotive was in danger of being scrapped. Train Mountain Railroad Museum wanted to save it. But how do you move a 100-ton locomotive when the tracks don't go to your property and you have a tight driveway???
Train Mountain Museum, famous as the largest model railroad in the world, adds this locomotive to the collection of rolling stock and snow movers already on display. This move was complex, requiring special heavy-hauler equipment. Check it out!
Train Mountain is in Chiloquin, Oregon USA and is open to visitors. Free riding tours are offered in the summer months. Donations gratefully accepted.

    This is known as "panel rail" in the RR industry. RR use sections of pre-fabricated track and stack them on flat cars to be delivered to where ever it is needed. A Burro crane will unload the panels to be placed at the designated places.

But there are many different types out there being used .

      Train Mountain doesn't make or sell cars, but there are several small businesses that do make them and each one can be customized with whatever railroad name or industry you'd like. The Train Game would be a super fun way to donate a car because, whenever you like, you could check on where it has been moved and how many times it has been moved. You could even see it in our webcams from time to time...
