My apologies in mis-reading your Feather River "Lumber" as the S.G. Feather River Railway, which ran a 3-trucker, to which I thought you were referring to. The image in my head of the Loyalton Mallet saddle-tanker with FRL emblazoned on the tank didn't help.
The Madera Sugar Pine 3-trucker that had gone to FRL and then later the Mich-Cal was covered/mentioned in Dave's original post, I appreciate your clarification though.
