Photos Of GN Northern In Portland OR

[SPer]

Do you have photos of the GN Northern steam locomotive in Portland OR. (Great Northern 4-8-4s, of course)

My suggestion is to contact the GNRHS for the information you seek.

They would be S2s, not S1s, and you'd look at the early years after 1930 when five of the S2s were assigned to Portland service.  I am given to understand it was rare to see an S2 on the Portland end once their 'first best use' was on passenger trains over the hump.

I assume you don't mean to lump SP&S 4-8-4s in with GN engines.  I expect you'll find plenty of photo examples of the 700s!

GN passenger trains used the Point Defiance line and the 4-8-4s ran there.
