Preservation
There is only one survivor, #700, which was restored by, and is maintained by, the Pacific Railroad Preservation Association. Since mid-2012,[1] it resides at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center, in Portland, where the public can view it during the center's opening days.[2] It is taken on special trips once or twice a year.
