Industrial Lumber Co 2-6-2 "Prairie" Type Locomotives

Class 106 (Locobase 5039)

Industrial-railroad Prairie that operated in Louisiana as a wood-burner until the company closed. It was moved to Edmonton Park in Alberta in 1977 by TW Graham, extensively overhauled and converted to oil-burning, and put in service on the Edmonton, Yukon & Pacific in 1978. Works numbers 52254-52255 in August 1919. (Two earlier engines -- 38219 from August 1912 and 43387 from May 1916, road numbers 101 and 103, respectively -- were probably similar.)

See http://www.telusplanet.net/public/ftedhist/train.htm . Among the tidbits in the specs are the number of firebox staybolts -- 560 -- and radial stays in the crown sheet -- 140.
