Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 45, p. 56 . See also W T Block, "Lumber Town of Manning Once Prospered," Beaumont Enterprise (7 April 2004), p. A10. Works number was 40958 in December 1913.
According to Block, Kelley was "a unique person. He grew up in Milwaukee's E. P. Allis Co., a sawmill manufacturer, and he was the best sawmill machinist ever to reach Texas. He held patents on the steam log turner and steam log kicker, and in 1897 the Allis Company sent him to East Texas to sell and install sawmills." He equipped Manning's mills with Allis equipment including a band saw that could cut 90,000 feet daily until the mill burned down on 25 March 1916. That seems to have been the excuse for Kelley to bring in a double bandsaw headrig and an Allis gang saw, a powerhouse that was one of the largest in East Texas, and several other buildings.
Although this logging Prairie was ordered by the Laurel River Railroad, it was sold before delivery to Carter-Kelley of Manning, Texas. The engine was designed to negotiate 35 degrees (164 ft/50 metre radius) and scale 2% gradients on 56-60 lb/yard (28-30-kg/metre) rails. Carter-Kelley ran it on the 14-mile tram road to Huntington.
By 1920, Manning's population had grown to 1,500, but the timber came in ever diminishing amounts. Carter died in 1921 and Kelley sold out to Carter's son in 1926. The mill burned down in 1936 and no one cared to rebuild. In 1937, the 22 was sold to the W T Carter & Brother Lumber Company. The Grigbsy Foundation leased the 4 in 1984 to Arkansas' Reader Railroad where it was stored until it was operated by the Dardanelle & Russellville and finally by the Reader.
