Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 30. See also "Ohio and Kentucky - News from the Box Men of Cleveland, Cincinnati & Louisville - A Lively Trade Doing," The Packages, Volume 6, No 9 (September 1903), pp. 36-37. Works number was 31852 in October 1907.
The Mengel Box Company was one of the largest such companies in the South at the turn into the 20th Century. The Packages report tells of greatly improved business over the previous few months, the opening of veneer plant at Hickman and a new saw mill at Band Mill near Dyersburg, Ky. Of most interest to Locobase, however, was the assertion that it took 10,000 trees per year (at 600 feet to the tree) to supply the Mengel Company.
Helping to haul those trees out of the forest would have been the CC Mengel's job.
