Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 26, p. 274. Works number was 24009 in March 1904.
According to the order book, this wood-burning Prairie was ordered for the 3-foot gauge but "Changed to 4' 8 1/2" by E & W L Co.". Connelly shows the engine as a tank locomotive, but the specs show an 8-wheel tender. Also, references documented the E & W said they always ran on 3-ft gauge, 56-lb track. So Locobase supposes that the 1 was convertible to standard gauge, but never actually so transformed.
E & W was based in Eufala, Wash and maintained its lumber road until 1926. The #1 was scrapped in 1929.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 29, p. 54 .(Thanks to Chris Hohl for his 1 December 2021 email noting the tender's wood fuel capacity.) Works number was 27780 in March 1906.
Locobase 11492 notes a gauge confusion regarding an earlier E&W Lumber Company engine, in which it is supposed that the 1904 tank was convertible to the 4' 8 1/2" gauge but never actually so modified. So what are we to make of this much larger wood-burning tender engine? It has a big boiler, but a small grate and firebox and logging-road sized drivers. The tender held 3 cords of wood.
In any case, the engine faced 36-deg (159-ft radius) curves and 5 1/2% grades.
Based in Eufala, Wash, the 2 served the E&W until it was scrapped.
