Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 27, p. 22. Works numbers were 24126 in April 1904 and 27784 in March 1906.
BRLC bought these two small Ten-wheelers for their Louisiana timber-harvesting operations. The second engine -- #8 -- was named C W Penoyer. Some time later the Hanchette was sold to the Calcasieu Long Leaf Lumber Company of Lake Charles, while the 8 joined the Rapides Lumber Company.
