East Oregon Lumber Company 2-8-2 "Mikado" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 3 (Locobase 14323)

Data from DeGolyer, Vol 53, pp. 20+. Works number was 45248 in February 1917.

This wood-burning logging Mikado used a Radley & Hunter spark-arresting stack. Its purview covered the Enterprise, Ore timber harvester's range and included the need to take 100 short tons of trailing load up a 6% maximum grades and negotiate 25 degree curves (radii of 231 feet/70.4 metres) while rolling on standard 56 lb/yard (28 kg/metre) rail.

The 3 was later sold to the Columbia & Colitz as their 102 and went on to serve that line's successor Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.
