On Saturdays and Sundays between 28 November and 20 December, Mt. Rainer Scenic Railroad ran holiday trains called "Train To Island of Misfit Toys." They operated four trains per day. Most of the train excursions were sold out in advance. Hillcrest Lumber #10, a 1928 Climax, pulled two trains a day. Rayonier #2 pulled the other two trains. Rayonier #2 was built by Willamette Iron & Steel in December of 1929. It was the last of 33 locomotives built by the company. The locomotive is shown on a excursion run on 19 Dec 09 in Mineral, Washington.
