ALC bought out the Samish Logging Company near Lookout, Washington (soon to be renamed after Hollis Alger) in 1886 and soon grew into one of the largest lumber companies in the Northwest. This Prairie had the cabbage stack of a wood burner and operated for the ALC for more than 30 years before being scrapped in

This logging Prairie tank represents an unusual variation on the usual 2-6-2 wood-train product that Baldwin sold to dozens of lumber companies. Its operating environment in the Oregon forests wasn't much different from the usual scene: 56-60 lb/yard (28-30 kg/metre) rail, grades of 3 1/2-4% and curves of 25 degrees (231 feet/70.4 metre radii). The shorter wheelbase concentrated a bit more adhesion weight on the track, but the engine still was a wood-burning double ender.

The ALC was open from 1903 to 1943, at which point the 2 was converted to a separate-tender 2-6-2 and sold to the US Army. The Army at first designated it L4, later 6908.

By the time the ALC bought this wood-burning Prairie tank from Baldwin, the Mendocino County (Calif) timber company was owned by the Southern Pacific as part of its network of Redwood Country railroad holdings. The 5 operated for the company until its railway was abandoned in 1931. The rails and the 5 were scrapped in 1937.
