Re: Oregon Lumber Company #100

Of the boilers on your list, we can say with certainty that we have the boiler from OLC Shay #102. I think it is pretty well documented that it went from Baker to here in Enterprise for use in a laundry and in fact I remember it still in service in the laundry where my dad and a local plumber put new flues in it. A later owner Max Gorsline, of the building where the laundry had operated was a friend of Pug Robinson an early SVRR volunteer who arranged for it to be donated. The boiler that went to Roaring Camp was from BWP Climax #3. We have photos of the BWP #3 boiler being removed from a building by early SVRR volunteers. It had both builders plates still on the smoke box and we have one of them at our archives. The other plate is in a private collection.
