Engine #70 pulling up to get serviced at Mineral. |
| Description: |
At Mineral, the locomotive is decoupled from the coaches and serviced. It then runs around the back end couples back on to what had been the rear of the train and backs down the mountain with the coaches in tow, back to the station at Elbe. |

Waiting to pull out of the station. |

The Mt. Rainier Scenic RR runs from Elbe to Mineral WA on ex-Milwaukee Road tracks on about a 45 minute trip to Mineral. Passengers have a long stop at Mineral to look at all sorts of vintage equipment in use and being refurbed. |

Coaches |
| Description: |
For the first run in the morning, the locomotive of the day makes a deadhead run down the mountain from Mineral to Elbe, hooks on to however many coaches they are taking that day, and then pulls them all back to where the locomotive came from in the first place. |

Ex-NP F-9 |
| Description: |
This is an operable F-9, obviously obtained from the Northern Pacific. They use this one about once a month to pull the passenger coaches and also as a hostler locomotive to move the rolling stock around the yard and also to take a tank car down the mountain to bring it back up full of water for the steam locomotives. Although it is great to see in action, I was told by one of the volunteers at Mineral that running the F-9 is rather a pain due to the lack of visibility, especially going in the backwards direction down the hill. |

Steam powered log splitter. |
| Description: |
When this was in use, it would be sitting on the ground on its skids. Right now, its sitting on a flat car for display and ease of movement around the yard. |

Not sure what this is. |
| Description: |
I supposed it qualifies as being something run on rails, although the rails look like they might be in danger of rolling away when needed. |
