Comox & Campbell Lake Tramway Co 2-6-2 Locomotives in Canada


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 14166)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 49, p. 19. Works number was 33561 in July 1909.

The Frazar River Lumber Company, Ltd, ordered this engine for the Canadian Western Lumber Company, but renamed that company before delivery. This small logging Prairie was its first engine. Like many loggers, the locomotive had a grate that could burn either coal or wood.

The 1 lasted for 34 years before going to the scrapyard in 1943.
