| Getting Closer to First Firing – 6/11/2025 |
Engine 557 pokes her nose out of the Engine House door to take a look at the world. The offset smokebox door is characteristic of the S-160 design and allowed mounting of the original single cylinder air compressor on the smokebox front. The Alaska Railroad quickly removed those and mounted higher capacity cross-compound compressors on the front deck when they received the locomotives.
You can play a part in returning 557 to operation with a contribution by credit or debit card or Paypal. You are also invited to pay a visit to the 557 Engine House, take a tour, and leave a generous contribution.
