Louisiana & Texas Lumber Company had opened the Eastern Texas as part of its efforts to exploit the timber acreage near Lufkin, Tex. Its main line connected Lufkin with Kennard, which had one of the largest pine sawmills around. Almost before they were delivered, the Moguls in this order went to the Houston County. Ultimately, the 5 reverted to its L & TL ownership and was sold to Peavey Byrnes Lumber. 6 took the same route, but was sold to Walker Lumber instead.

The H & C was a Michigan Mineral Range railroad that operated as a rival to the Mineral Range RR. The H & C sold this Mogul in 1901 to the Ashland, Siskowit & Iron River logging road in Wisconsin. Two years later the AS & IR sold the 8 to the Missouri Southern. It ended its days after a 1910 sale by working for the Gibara y Hoquin in Cuba.
