Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 71, pp. 239+.

in November 1923.
This oil-burning Mike was typical of several other 2-8-2s serving timber harvesters in Washington State. D-CLC was based in Aberdeen, Wash and worked the timber in Wishkah River Valley in northeast Grays Harbor County. Succeeding to the assets of the Coats-Fordney Logging Company in 1923, it operated 18 miles (29 km) on "well-ballasted" 60 lb/yard (30 kg/metre) at the time the 4 arrived. Ruling grades rose at 3%, but "in case of emergency locomotive would be required to traverse 5-5 1/2% grades."
Declining fortunes led to the B-CLC abandoning its operations in 1934. The 4 went to Simpson Logging first, then to Comox in 1937. The latter was based at Ladysmith, British Columbia and operated the engine as their 11 until its retirement in October 1962. Comox then donated the 11 to the Logging Equipment Museum for display at the Crown Forest Product office.
