It is great to see her back in operation. There are not many compounds operating. If I remember correctly she was built for the Little River RR in Townsend, TN and was too big for them and went to the Pacific coast of Oregon. This is a favorite locomotive.
That's right. After Little River rejected her she was returned to Baldwin and then sent to the Columbia River Belt Line Railway in Blind Slough OR as number 126. After a 10 year stint in on the CRBL (And one year with the Larkin-Green Logging Co. in Blind Slough), 126 went to Carlisle-Pennell Lumber Co. out of Onalaska WA for four years and became number 7 before going to Carlisle subsidiary Newaukum Valley Railroad (Still as 7) for another six years. Number 7 was then leased to the Mud Bay Logging Co. in Olympia for a year before going back to Carlisle. for two years. Number 7's final assignment was at the Deep River Logging Co. in Deep River WA for 22 years before her derailment in 1955.
Awesome seeing Skookum on my favorite railroad. The #25 is one of my top 5 favorite locomotives. Just down the line where the passenger trains don't operate they have a fantastic "Railriders" organization that people use pedal powered vehicles that go to Tillamook. That whistle salute at the end was fantastic.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I wasn't able to see her in action, but your excellent camera got just what I wanted to see, and you had some excellent shots. I loved that ending too, a very soothing and slow ending. Amazing job, your videos are fantastic and show how awesome railroading is
I read a magazine article about this locomotive and how it fell off a low trestle and sat on its side for years. That was one fine restoration. Great video.
A great video of a unique locomotive! And a one-of-a-kind! A great lead-in to what is coming in just a few weeks. Hundreds of videos of the first runs of UP 4014
Awesome little articulated and definitely a early Baldwin catalog engine. What a EBT articulated would have looked like IF they went larger than their Mikados. Definitely a timeless classic and slide valve too!
I remember reading the story about this little loco in Trains Mag... talk about beating the odds... really awesome to see it running now! Cool name, too!
Happy Friday, Mr. Mike Armstrong AKA +CoasterFan2105! I Just Want You To Know That I'm Very-Very Proud of You For Making a New Steam Locomotive TH-cam Video, Friend. 'Cause You Know That I Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Super Love Steam Locomotives The Most, Friend. Congratulations, Friend! Keep Up The Good Work! :-D
2019 sees two cool articulated locos back up and running, Big Boy and Skookum! Cool. Hopefully WMRR will get the old 2-6-6-2 project completed in the near future.
I've been wondering why so many steam engine restorations have been taking place in the US. I'm happy as heck about it, just not sure what is driving it. Really awesome restoration. I had no idea this configuration existed until now.
A live steam friend showed me this video yesterday. For me, it is a dream come true! Knew it was being restored, but I heard this for decades. At last it has happened! I have modeled this locomotive in HO and G scale Live Steam, I just LOVE IT! I must see it some time SOON! I understand it will be touring the country, is this true? If so, where do I get a schedule. One other thing, is Skookum an oil burner now? BTW, Thank you, Hampton for showing me this.
If the WMSR can get 1309 operating, 2019 will be the year of the articulated steam engine. Awesome shots Mike! BTW, I assume you'll be out in Wyoming and Utah to see the 4014?
Yes, it will be running a double-header on may 11th with the clover valley #4. It will be running there a number of times in the coming months, however as of now I think the only planned runs are on May 11th and May 12th. On May 12th it will be running without the clover valley #4
Awesome video. Hey Mike, I gotta ask you something. Other than Big Boy 4014 what are 5 steam locomotives that you are excited to see return or restored. Me personally: 5. Nickel Plate Road 587. 4. Pennsylvania Railroad 1361. 3. Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis 576. 2. Chesapeake and Ohio 2716. 1. Florida East Coast 148.
I think the world as a whole misses the iconic steam whistle. What an amazing sound.
I can’t say enough about how cool they are, especially all three setting there. Beautiful.

I’ve never heard of this gal until now. It looks absolutely incredible

Beautiful steam locomotive!
There’s also some homes by the tracks too?
God the kids must love waking up by the sound of steam!
Kids? Heck, I would!

Nice to all those steam engines live again.
It's a great video. Seeing a locomotive that is returning to opperate is the most amazing thing to see.
A great video of a unique locomotive! And a one-of-a-kind! A great lead-in to what is coming in just a few weeks.
Hundreds of videos of the first runs of UP 4014
Its nice to see another steam locomotive up and running again
Awesome little articulated and definitely a early Baldwin catalog engine. What a EBT articulated would have looked like IF they went larger than their Mikados. Definitely a timeless classic and slide valve too!
I can't believe they just left here there for all those years. It's great to see her under steam again, thanks for sharing Mike :)
Great to see this locomotive running again! I just watched James Parfrey's video yesterday as well. Great videos from you both!
Love shookun is my favorite articulated locomotives! Love the baldwin 3 chime.
Spectacular video! You always do a great job and this is no exception! Thank you for providing such a great look at these locomotives.
Wunderschönes Video mit tollen Loks und herrlichen Perspektiven.....Danke, da schlägt jedes Eisenbahnerherz höher...
Thanks for posting. I didn't realize there was a 2-4-4-2 operating and am glad to see the video. Thanks.
Thanks Mike for sharing that with us that was very cool.
Wow. I cannot wait to see her for myself one of these days
Wow he is so cool. Thank you
Awesome share
Nice film Mike - very atmospheric! Thank you :)
How could anybody in their right mind give a thumbs down to this beautiful piece of American history? Must be a tree hugger.
I remember reading the story about this little loco in Trains Mag... talk about beating the odds... really awesome to see it running now! Cool name, too!
The Skookum is such a beauty!
Awesome Video:) I can't wait to see Skookum at Niles Canyon!!!
I've followed the restoration of this beauty I hope to see her one day. Fantastic work Coaster!
Another great video of a very interesting loco Mike. Also a nice nostalgic ending. Regards from the UK.
Wow, Fantastic!! :)
I love the echoing whistle at the end

never seen a 2-4-4-2 locomotive before how fascinating
She's a keeper to her home railway and is An Emerald Jewel to all (a 2-4-4-2 Baldwin Mallet)
That is so great to see that is beautiful thank you for posting that I gave it a like so I can look at it again
Excellent videography...of an astonishingly wonderful subject. #LongLiveSkookum
Incredible shots, Mike! Looking forward to her arrival in NCRY soon!
2019 sees two cool articulated locos back up and running, Big Boy and Skookum! Cool. Hopefully WMRR will get the old 2-6-6-2 project completed in the near future.
awesome video dude had fun watching it 😁😁😁
great video
Skookum the Logging Legend
Great video once again man! I don't have much of a desire to see her but some day i'd like to see 25 on the Oregon Coast Railroad.
All 3 whistle at once!
Mike your now at 400 subs now, can you believe it!
Good Video. 🇮🇳
Great steam locomotive power
I've been wondering why so many steam engine restorations have been taking place in the US. I'm happy as heck about it, just not sure what is driving it. Really awesome restoration. I had no idea this configuration existed until now.
Cool video
Cool
It would be fun to have her run with her little sister, Little River 110, for some photos.
One of these videos has to just be about Coaster 2105
It’s actually really funny how quiet these engines are.
I mean they must *really* have to be working to hear them
Compound locomotives do not have much of a bark. The steam exhausting out the stack has lost most of its energy
Hi Mike. Would you like to see trains in Fostoria, Ohio? It's cool.
Awesome Video
I can see this one visiting Black Hills Central Railroad it would really stand out along with their 262 Prairie 2662 tank mallet locomotives
A live steam friend showed me this video yesterday. For me, it is a dream come true! Knew it was being restored, but I heard this for decades. At last it has happened!

Skookum's back!!!!
Great job!
A 2-4-4-2 Articulated ?
Never saw or knew about this wheel configuration until I saw this video
They really ought to give Skookum some heavy trains for some stack talk
Awesome steam locomotive we need more steam engines or running again
Happy weekend! 🚂
If the WMSR can get 1309 operating, 2019 will be the year of the articulated steam engine. Awesome shots Mike! BTW, I assume you'll be out in Wyoming and Utah to see the 4014?
I am going to the western Maryland next month on 2019 on April.
2-4-4-2 is back!
AvE would be proud
Yep, Skookum ChooChoocher right there!
Cool whistle show at 10:09!
A great video!
Where exactly in California is she headed? My first guess would be Niles Canyon, but there are plenty of other options.
awesome video :) the skookum will be moved to California soon !
U should go to the Illinois railway museum it’s awesome
I'm in IL too
Skooks is back after 91
Years of his day
Any plans of taking the Skookum down to Niles Canyon?
Yes, it will be running a double-header on may 11th with the clover valley #4. It will be running there a number of times in the coming months, however as of now I think the only planned runs are on May 11th and May 12th. On May 12th it will be running without the clover valley #4
Great video mike! I always love a steam engine video! Also, did the engine originally serve on a different railroad?
Amazing Video!
Wowsers!
Greatest name ever
At the end, what was that third loco?
Superb.
i am looking forward to seeing it at niles canyon railway.
Grant Tozier same
It's hard to believe this locomotive sat in the woods for almost 40 years. Amazing!
Also why is this thing called Big Boys's little cousin?
I think it’s called that because it has a “mallet” articulation system. Just like the Big Boy, only smaller.
The one that started it all for logging mallets.
A 2-4-4-2 locomotive.
The Big Boy of the 19th century
How many cameras you fited?
Could you talk about Metro North more often? Plzzzz thank you
Y’all Ready to see it with Clover Valley Lumber #4?
Will it be staying in Oregon??? That's where it's been for the last 15 years
@@SPNGLovato18 it's on the roster for Oregon coast scenic railroad I don't they will sell this locomotive
Danny Edelman ok
Awesome video. Hey Mike, I gotta ask you something. Other than Big Boy 4014 what are 5 steam locomotives that you are excited to see return or restored. Me personally: 5. Nickel Plate Road 587. 4. Pennsylvania Railroad 1361. 3. Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis 576. 2. Chesapeake and Ohio 2716. 1. Florida East Coast 148.
Someone has been watching AvE a little too much : P
When is skookum supposed to leave for the niles canyon railway this summer and how long will it stay and why is it going there for the summer?
Evan's Megazord reviews it will arrive in April and the event ends at September 8th (events starts at May 11th)
Evan's Megazord reviews also There is a 150th Anniversary Of the NCRY.
My question is
Is the steam come from steam train
Is Carbon dioxide?
I wouldn't think so. Because steam locomotives use coal and water depending on the train some times wood or oil.
It's a bit of oil smoke but mostly steam... You know, water vapor.
I am making a fan made manga about trains so I'll add her in
Ithinksteamlocomotivesareawesome
In Iowa this summer can you film Iowa Interstate 6988
What's 25 doing here?
skokum scary skeletons
Sounds like it's wearing a Nathan 6 Chime.
Actually she's wearing a baldwin 3 chime.
Does anyone else think that's a dirty fire?
First to comment.
Carlos vitor no, I was
Second to comment.
These are the smallest articulates I've ever seen
