Dear 557 enthusiast,

Welcome to the Locomotive #557 web page and thank you for your interest in the last steam locomotive to run on the Alaska Railroad. Number 557 has a long and proud history in support of our nation.

I am grateful to Monte Holm, the Jansen family, Engine 557 Restoration Company and others for serving as careful custodians of this precious artifact of our nation's heritage.

Finally, I am truly excited to know that with the help of many selfless individuals, she will once again be roaming Alaskan rails. Please consider becoming part of this restoration project!

For anyone who would like to volunteer on the project or donate resources then please call 907-350-4340.
