The steam locomotive #7 (1918 H. K. Porter) was built for the US Navy. It ran at Norfolk, Virginia and later in Bremerton, Washington. In 1952 it was sold to Olympic Portland Cement for use at their Bellingham plant. After retirement it was donated to the City of Bellingham in 1960 and placed in a park.
