Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 45, p. 65. See also Frederick E Olmsted, "Working Plan for Forest Lands Near Pine Bluff, Ark," United States Forest Service Bulletin No. 32 (March 1902), pp. 40-. Works number was 41165 in February 1914.
Sawyer & Austin began operations in and near La Crosse, Wisconsin. The company later set up a subsidiary operation near Pine Bluff, Arkansas at about the same time that it was taken over by Cargill. S & A requested in 1901 a US Forest Service review of their holdings and suggestions on how to manage the 105,000 acres of timber. This survey and report represented the first forestry management plan undertaken by the Forest Service.
In 1909, the S & A ordered this relatively large logging Ten-wheeler. The specs show a relatively gently laid-out railroad of 1% grades and 15-degree curves (383 ft/117 metre radii). Water tanks were spaced 18 miles apart on this road of 56-60 lb/28-30 kg/metre rail.
Cargill sold its interests in S & A to Long-Bell Lumber in June 1911 (except for 44,000 acres of cut-over land). Long-Bell organized the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber Company to exploit the new timber holdings and operate the logging road.
