In March, 2018, a group of individuals and Marin County organizations, including the Mill Valley Historical Society, placed the winning bid in an auction for a 97-year-old Heisler steam locomotive that is the last remaining piece of original equipment on Earth from the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway. Since 1953, the locomotive has been sitting outdoors on the town square in Scotia, California, about 200 miles North of Mill Valley. We are now making plans and raising money to move and restore the locomotive, and then relocate it back to its original home somewhere along the path of the mountain railway.
