Comments:
This Oliver 287-T was sold through Star Machinery of Seattle, WA along with another shaper in 1965 to the Boeing Co. It was used to mill aluminum. In March 2010 it was donated to the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, WA by the owner who bought it from Boeing. It will be used to restore the collection of historic railroad artifacts.
