Soon
after delivery of the locomotive to the Crossett Western Company of
Wauna, OR in 1929, much of the Crossett timber lands were involved in
the series of major forest fires known as the Tillamook Burn. The little
saddle tank engine worked throughout the 1930’s and early 40’s
hauling out the salvaged timber from the burn.
In
1942 the locomotive was sold to the Hammond Lumber Co. of Samoa CA. and
renumbered as #17. Once again fire played an important role in
it’s life when, in 1945, a large fire burned out a series of trestles
while the locomotive was sitting in a woods logging camp known as “The
Gap” It was determined that the cost to rebuild the trestles was too
great and #17 was left sitting in the middle of the camp unused for
years.
In
1965 a local mill owner named Gus Peterson purchased #17 from its
current owner Georgia Pacific. Mr. Peterson built a road into the
old campsite, dismantled the engine and trucked it out piece-by-piece.
Mr. Peterson quickly went to work reassembling and restoring her to
operation. On September 27, 1966 #17 operated under her own power for
the first time since the forest fire of 1945 and for the next few years
operated on Mr. Peterson’s tourist line known as the Klamath &
Hoppow Valley RR.
The
gasoline shortages of the 1970’s spelled the end of the Klamath &
Hoppow Valley and the #17 was mothballed again. In 1980 it, along with 2
other locomotives were sold to Tacoma lumberman Tom Murray Jr. Mr.
Murray had the 17 disassembled and shipped by truck to Tacoma, WA. and
then sent on to the shops of the Mount Rainier Scenic RR.
During
the 80’s the #17 sat outside the shops while restoration work on other
locomotives progressed. Work finally began in 1994 and finally in
January 1995 a fire was lit in the #17’s boiler and she joined the
other operating locomotives of the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad. To
this day she is a mainstay of the summer operations of the Railroad.
