Peninsular Railway Mikados
ALCO built this 2-8-2T “Minaret” style locomotive new as Crossett Western Co.’s #10 at Wauna, OR in March 1929. The locomotive was sold in 1943 to Hammond Lumber Co. in Samoa, CA and became their #16. It was sold again in 1956 to Georgia Pacific and sold to Pete Replinger in Shelton at an unknown date. It is now lettered for the Peninsular Railway Company and is occasionally steamed up for local celebrations. Number 16 has another operating stable mate from its Hammond Lumber days, the #17 at the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad.
