Haslam Lake Timber & Logging Company 2-6-2 Locomotives in Canada


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 1 (Locobase 14167)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 49, p. 21. Works number was 40301 in August 1913.

This medium-sized wood-burning logging Prairie began work on ten miles of road in British Columbia. Its fuel meant the engine was fitted with a relatively large (16" diameter) Radley & Hunter flared stack. It faced 3% gradients and 13-degree curves.

Before too long the 1 was sold to Straits Lumber of Nanoose Bay, BC. Straits sold the engine in November 1918 to another Canadian logger--Bloedel, Stewart & Welsh as their #2. BS&W was located at Myrtle Point, BC, about six miles south of the Powell River.

Later named "Mrs. Bloedel", the 2 was also renumbered 1002 for MacMillan Bloedel.
