This past year has been a busy one for the 316. It has been in almost continuous use by the Lake Superior Railroad Museum on their North Shore Scenic Railroad operations substituting for sister Missabe unit 193. The usage of the 316 by the LSRM is part of the storage agreement which allows the MRHS to store our locomotive free of charge at the Museum. It’s a win win for both groups. They have had a operable locomotive to use and we haven’t had to buy fuel or oil yet for the 316!
