PORTLAND, OR -- The 100-year-old logging locomotive Mount Emily Shay is now at its new home at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. For more than 60 years, it was in the care of the Oregon Historical Society. Since 1994, the city of Prineville Railway has served as caretaker and operator. In 2021, the city requested it be relieved of that duty, and in 2022, the Historical Society selected the Rail Heritage Foundation to become the new owner.
