This locomotive indeed served the New Mexico Lumber Co. in addition to working in Oregon. The locomotive was running at Hesston up until 1985 when it was involved in their enginehouse fire. They also had a little Porter Mogul from Central America which they ran up until this time; similar to Hal Wilmunder's and the one out in New Jersey. I had thought there was some interest and efforts going on now to get her back in service, but wound up being mistaken. There's an operating Shay on a true mountain railroad just a few miles up the road...except it would be 1-foot gauge (12"). One of the most impressive backyard railroads imaginable!
