Looking at my records, I ran 8319 a total of 742 miles between 2/18/2015 and 12/08/2015 when it was used on EWG. It is a good engine. Has it's quirks like one would expect for a well used unit over 60 years old. Some of our guys didn't care for the 24 brake.

One of our more unusual moves was taking two passenger cars from Cheney to the Inland NW Railway Museum in West Reardan on March 9, 2015.

The following picture was actually taken at Elizabeth siding on the Geiger Spur, where we set out some loaded flatcars before proceeding west with our "Passenger" train.

We made a brief stop at MP 14 where our line passes under BNSF's ex GN Columbia River subdivision.

8319 went into the museum trackage to spot the cars

Here is a picture of me spotting a steel load on the Geiger Spur
