Baldwin 4-8-4 Excellence Award Commemorative to Robert Reedy #109 vNERR 2004, Reedy Railroad.

In 1938 The Spokane Portland & Seattle Railway (SP&S) took delivery of three 4-8-4 Northerns numbered 700, 701 and 702 from Baldwin Locomotive Works. Locomotive 700 was used mainly for passenger service and continued to pull passenger trains, including the Empire Builder and the North Coast Limited, into the early 1950s. In 1956, the SP&S spruced up the 700 and sent it out for one last run. The "farewell to steam" excursion attracted hundreds of passengers. After the trip, SP&S donated the 700 to the City of Portland. Today, the "First Lady of the Northwest" is fully operational and under the care of the Pacific Railroad Preservation Association.

Model: Alco 0-6-6-0
Numbers: 2400

Built by ALCO in 1904, Baltimore & Ohio #2400 was the first Mallet built in North America. #2400 was meant to replace two 2-8-0s in helper service on the 1.8-2.2 percent grade from Cumberland, Maryland to Meyersdale, PA. The B&O was impressed with its performance, and would later purchase a large number of articulateds. #2400 was renumbered to #7000 in 1915 and assigned to switching work at the hump yard at Willard, Ohio before being set aside for preservation in the early 1930s. Unfortunately, the locomotive was scrapped anyways.
