Martin E. Hansen Collection

This scene is from Grand Ronde, Oregon, in the yards of the Longview Portland and Northern Railway (formerly Willamina & Grand Ronde Railway). The steam engine seen is engine #680. This locomotive was in the process of being purchased by Bob Gray and trucked to Virginia City. There it still operates today as Virginia & Truckee #29. Bob Gray took this photo of his new purchase being moved by the diesel locomotive that replaced it.
