MRSR No. 5 a EX : Port Of Grays Harbor Number 55 is a type of 2-8-2 'Mikado' steam locomotive. The engine was built by the H. K. Porter Company in 1924 for the Carlton & Coast Railroad. Presumably, this was the reason the Flora Logging Co. renumbered the Porter to No. 55, the road number it would retain the rest of its days on the Carlton & Coast Railroad and they also changed the engine's road number to No. 5, and when the Port switched to diesels the engine No. 5 was put up for sale. The Porter Engine No. 5 is one of the largest Porter locomotives ever constructed, and was ordered new by the Carlton & Coast Railroad to haul logs out of the Oregon Coast Range down to the town of Carlton, Oregon. The engine No. 5 was restored by the MRSR in the early 1980's to take passengers on a route from Elbe to Mineral, the old tender was replaced to a Vanderbilt-style tender, and the engine became the first Mikado to operate on the Mt. Rainier Scenic RR beginning in 1986.Back in 1989 the locomotive was running some celebratory excursions for the state of Washington the same year when SP 4449 was also participating in the same events. Later that year the Vanderbuilt-style tender has the "Great Northern Railway" logo on display for the excursion. Engine No. 5 is featured on Goodheart Productions' video "Winter Daylight".Today, this locomotive is still at the MRSR, but has been taken out of service, and has last operated in 2003, apparently because its boiler is due for a Federally Mandated Refit. Engine No. 5 originally had a 5 chime step top whistle at Carlton and Coast. This engine was then given an Ashton 6 inch 3 chime in its final years. The whistle of the engine was put on 2-8-2T #17, a 2-8-2 tank engine in 2013, and later for a short time on #70, a Baldwin 2-8-2
