Thank for a hot clue in there. There was one newspaper note on May 11,1928 by McPhee correspondent that said "the company recently purchased a new locomotive form D&RGW". This never fit any of my roster data as I entered into the Volume VII RGS Story, so I did not include it in the text. No photos of any of the engines at McPhee ever showed the C&S air tanks. The reporter could have gotten the origin company wrong. Just a new engine to her.
Pagosa Lumber was not out as yet. They were very busy with Mundo contract after 1923 and cut 10,930,190 feet in 1924 and still 3,000,000 feet in 1926 using the new line that diamonded over the RG&SW. Yes, you learned it here first, two logging railroad crossing over each other just south of Mundo Lake on the RG&SW (New Mexico Lumber) but that is a whole new story for the future. The Climax #7 (732) went out of service about this time because roster show one rod in 1927 but 4 engines in 1926 in use. W.G.Cook
