The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WALLA WALLA – The Fort Walla Walla Museum will welcome home the Blue Mountain locomotive at a special after-hours event on June 29 at 5 p.m. The train will be set down, via crane, on its new display track on the north side of the museum. The homecoming event is free and open to the public.

The locomotive, the only surviving narrow gauge locomotive, was ordered by Dr. Dorsey Baker in 1877 for the Walla Walla & Columbia River Railroad that ran between Wallula and Walla Walla.
