McCloud River Railway No. 25 Is A 2-6-2 Steam locomotive Built In 1925 By Alco.

Shortly after retirement, on July 3, 1955, the 25 ceremoniously opened the Burney Branch by bursting through a paper banner with a special excursion train. In 1962, No. 25 was restored for excursion service, and served in that capacity until passenger service was once again terminated in 1975. It has since been used in the films Bound For Glory, Stand By Me, & Changeling, and is presently in Oregon, providing excursion service on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.
