Baldwin 2-8-2, c/n 67538. A classic 90-ton logging mikado. Baldwin built this machine in 1924 for the Pacific Lumber Company of Scotia, CA. Pacific Lumber Company had trackage rights over the Northwestern Pacific for part of their log train haul, which explains the SP-style markers and number boards (a requirement for third parties operating trains over SP rails). Pacific Lumber Company put its steam to bed with three GE 80-ton centercab switchers purchased in 1956/1957 and two Baldwin switchers purchased in 1962 and 1965. PALCo sold the locomotive to two private individuals who never removed it from Scotia; by 1971 the Heber Creeper owned the machine. As noted, the Nevada Southern built much of its collection from equipment purchased from the Heber Creeper. Jeff Moore Elko, NV
Flash- No, standard guage. Baldwin and a couple other manufacturers (most noteably Alco and Porter) built several hundred of these small mikados specifically for the logging and shortline market in weight classes ranging from fifty to ninety tons. They were a mainstay of the logging and lumber railroad industry up until the end of the steam era. Jeff Moore Elko, NV
