Data from "Logging Locomotives", Record of Recent Construction #96 (Baldwin Locomotive Works, 1918), p. 11. See also DeGolyer, Volumes 52, p. 408. (Thanks to Chris Hohl for his 26 February 2016 email noting the proper valve gear ID and the tender's wood capacity.) Works number was 43288 in May 1916.
Identical to the small Southern logger from 1913 shown in Locobase 14061, this little Prairie wound up in Lois Springs, Ala. Although a wood-burner trailing a tender carrying two cords of fuel, this engine did not have the big bole at the top of the stack that signified the spark-arresting equipment usually considered necessary. It was a tiny engine for operating on the standard gauge.
A E Bell, a lumbering company based in Lois Springs, operated the 1 for a few years before selling it to locomotive reseller Birmingham Rail & Locomotive Company. They sold it in July 1920 to the F B Williams Cypress Company.
