Re: Another West Side Lumber Shay May Get A New Home!

West Side Roundhouse Foreman Ed Sullivan later worked as caretaker/watchman after they
quit logging in late 1960. I had a couple of nice long chats with him while visiting the yard to
look and take photos of the 7 Shays in the mid to late 60s.

I remember this well, we were standing right beside the 14 when he got a really big smile on his face
and remarked that she was one of the best engines that they had. Late photos would bear this out as
she got regular use on the mainline, especially a turn between the landing and Camp 21. 7, 12 & 15
did not see near as many miles. She was also one of the first engines to leave the property when
Hal Wilmunder (SP fireman) bought her. She came highly recommended.
