Columbia River Belt Line 7

Columbia River Belt Line 7, also known as Skookum, is a preserved 2-4-4-2 "Mallet" type steam locomotive, built in June 1909 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW). It was used to pull logging trains in the Pacific Northwest, until 1955, when the locomotive fell on its side, and it was abandoned. Several decades and ownership changes later, No. 7 was restored to operating condition in 2018. Presently, Skookum is owned by Chris Baldo, and it is being used to run on occasion for the Niles Canyon Railway (NICX).
