Sumpter Valley Mallet

service on the Uintah Railway
was discontinued, the two power-
ful Mallets were sold to the
Sumpter Valley Railway, which
connected rural towns in Oregon.
The locos were equipped with
tenders and soon hauled most of
the trains on this scenic line. After
the Sumpter Valley was closed
down,
the
Guatemala, where they ran on the
International Railroad of Central
America until the 1960s.
