"Hi Jeff - There was an O&NW Baldwin in Tigard on the (ex-SP) spur just off the Tigard yard a couple years back. Not sure of the number. I think it might still be on a spur just outside of Beaverton with some passenger cars. It was totally faded paint but was clearly marked O&NW."

I reply- that would have been the #2. When Feather River Rail Society orchestrated the preservation of the four Baldwins in 1990, the #2 ended up in the hands of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The Chapter eventually sold the locomotive to the National Transportation Museum in St. Louis, Missouri. They too eventually decided they didn't want it, and it languished in Tigard until November 2009 when the museum scrapped the locomotive.

Pictures of the #2 being cut up...
