Description
Coos Bay Lumber Company Train 104
Built in December 1922 by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, steam locomotive No. 104 was delivered in the spring of 1923 to the Coos Bay Lumber Company and put to work hauling open cars of newly-hewn logs in the forests of Coos County.
By the time the locomotive was retired in 1954, it was the last steam engine in use in the local woods, pulling cars from the mountain town of Powers to the company's McCormack log dump on Isthmus Slough, a few miles from their Coos Bay mill. It also hauled logs from Fairview to Coquille and then on to Coos Bay.
