This article in the local paper in The Dalles, OR, notes the dormant rail operation at The Dalles Dam, run by the US Army Corps of Engineers, will not be revived.

Note that the article inaccurately describes the rail operation as narrow gauge.
Two locomotives known to operate there were an ex-Army GE 25-ton and a GE 45-ton that was operated by the Army, Navy, and Marines before coming to this location. Both were built during WW II. A picture of the 45-ton can be found on this page:
