More of the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad Association's equipment, including the passenger cars for the tourist train, are housed within the open-ended shop building. Even more equipment is next to the shop building.

Vulcan diesel locomotives are quite rare. The Vulcan Iron Works began building locomotives in 1872, and though the company built a large number of small steam locomotives, of which a number of examples survive today, only 54 diesels were built between 1938 and 1954, when the company ceased operation.
