I agree with the rest of you that it is too bad we do not have any book or even good article covering the Apache Ry and the logging lines it was connected with. Maybe someday something will surface.
Both Apache Ry 2-8-2 #300 and Southwest Lumber Mills 2-6-6-2T-T #4 ended up being scrapped together at the mill in Flagstaff in the late 1950's. Fortunately the spot plates from these 2 great engines were saved and kept together in the years that followed.
