- Valley Railroad No. 40 is a preserved 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotive that was built by Alco in 1920. It was initially built as No. 101 for the Portland, Astoria and Pacific Railroad as part of their small order of locomotives. However, the order was cancelled, and the locomotive was subsequently sold to the Minarets and Western Railway to pull logging trains. No. 101 subsequently went through several ownerships during revenue service, until it was retired in 1950, and by that time, it was renumbered to 40. After spending several years in storage, No. 40 made its way to the Connecticut Valley Railroad in Essex in 1977. As of 2022, No. 40 is being used to pull tourist trains between Essex and Hartford, Connecticut alongside 2-8-0 No. 97 and 2-8-2 No. 3025. The 40 does currently have a surviving sister engine. Former Portland, Astoria & Pacific #102 went on to have a long working career in Canada on Vancouver Island. She was sold to the Alberni Pacific Railway in Port Alberni British Columbia and became their #6. She then operated for Macmillan Bloedel as their first 1055 until she was sold to Canadian Forest Products (Canfor) up in Northern Vancouver Island in Woss BC. She was first numbered 55, but then was renumbered to 113 which is the number she carries today. The 113 was retired in 1973, and was placed on static display. The company then brought her back to life in 1988 and used her for Canfor's company picnics. She was the pride of the line until she was retired again in 1995, and has ever since been placed on static display in Woss. (en)
