Oregon Lumber Co #100 Heisler

In the other thread on the OLC Bates water tank T.A.Hunter asked about this engine. The first photo is of course the builders photo. In the second photo taken at the Bates log pond dump we see the engine has had a spark arrester stack added along with a pilot deck mounted "gypsy winch", a steam pump just in front of the engineers side of the cab and a hose reel for fire fighting on top of the cab. In addition the oil or carbide head lamp has been replaced and a dynamo added. In the 3rd photo we see further updates with a Rushton stack and a cross compound air pump added, but the gypsy winch removed. In the 4th photo we see the engine through the lens of Jack Holst as it sat in the dead line in S.Baker in 1952. The final photo shows the engine reduced to a boiler for stationary service. Photos 1 and 4 are both credited to Jack Holst and likely came to me from the collection of the Pac.NW Chap. NRHS. The origin of the other 3 are unknown to me.
