pyramid logo, but it is also in poor condition, since it has been sitting outdoors. It has been moved, along with a non-operable passenger car, to a location prominatly visible from Highway 30 in Boone. The locomotive, its tender, and the passenger car are on permanent static display as a welcome sign for Boone, and the locomotive has been repainted to black. In the late 1980s, the railroad also acquired one of the last new 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotives to be constructed in China (China Railways JS No. 8419, cost $335,000). The JS locomotive powers the museum's 1920s excursion trains on Saturdays, from Memorial Day Weekend to October 31. In 2002 the BSVY acquired and restored an GMD FP9, originally a Via Rail Canada passenger locomotive. Painted in Chicago and North Western Railway inspired colors, it powers the BSVR dinner train. The railroad also runs a short trolley ride and has begun to do light freight switching at Boone industries in recent years. Its station is located just one block from the Union Pacific Railroad mainline.
