Data from "Oil-Burning Locomotives", Record of Recent Construction #37 (Baldwin Locomotive Works, 1911), p. 24. See also DeGolyer, Volume 39, p. 27. (Thanks to Chris Hohl for his 30 June 2021 email correcting the valve gear.) Works number was 36570 was in May 1911.
This logger operated in Oregon, first for the CRBL - headquartered in Blind Slough, Ore --, then for Larkins Green Lumber Company. Baldwin's specs required the engine to scale 8% grades, negotiate 50-deg curves on relatively robust 60-lb/yard (30-kg/metre) rails. The tight curvatures meant that both trucks were allowed a generous 6 1/4 inches of traverse to each side.
