Big Steam in Portland, Oregon | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Photo Charter Madness, Day 3. The Oregon Rail Heritage Center in Portland, Oregon played host to our merry band of photographers, and Spokane, Portland & Seattle 4-8-4 #700 was fired up for some spirited runbys in the yard and an evening photo session.

The 700 is the largest operational 4-8-4 in the United States, and one heck of a beautiful locomotive. That should also put the 700 as the largest currently operable steam locomotive in the United States---and someone correct me if I'm wrong here!

Currently operable, yes. That's until UP844 and ATSF 2926 get done. Both are bigger than the 700, but she's still impressive.
