Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 4 (Locobase 4061)

Data from [link], supplemented by DeGolyer, Vol 80, pp. 254+. Works numbers were 58272 in March 1925 and 60602 in August 1928.

Pair of Prairie Mallet full saddle tanks built by Baldwin for this logging road based in Brooklyn, Wash.. #4 with Saginaw until 1944, sold to White River (#7), later to Weyerhaeuser -- both in Enumclaw, Wash. #5 went from Saginaw to Bloedel, Stewart & Welch on Vancouver Island, BC.
