From the Gold Hill Historical Society: No. 8 formerly owned by the Feather River Short Line, but that did not have the funds for upkeep and maintenance and elected to transfer ownership to the Gold Hill Historical Society in June of 2010. The GHHS, as owners, started to invest in maintenance and boiler certification and the locomotive was steamed up that year. During the winter of 2010- 2011, the locomotive was covered with a shrink-wrapped plastic fabric – the same as used for long-term storage of sailboats. The wrap was removed in May of 2011 to permit additional maintenance work, which was completed in time to hold an open house on July 23, 2011. The locomotive was actually operated on the house track on that date. The Feather River Short Line paint scheme has been removed and the locomotive is presently painted a uniform flat black.

This locomotive has been sold to the Gold Hill historical socioty and will be moved there when they have a place to store it, and after that restored, and used when the V&T is down a locomotive or for special events.

I am the General Manager  and CEO of the Feather River Short Line Railroad. The locomotive was donated to us by a Mr. Metzger of the Feather River Lumber Co. in 1958. We are still the owners and there is an operational agreement with the V&T. For more information please visit our web site at:      www.steamforever.com
