| Description |
|
Steam locomotive and tender No. 3 were bought in 1908 by Carter-Kelley
Lumber Co. for use in building a sawmill at Manning, Texas (about 18 mi.
south) and then in railroad building, logging, and passenger and freight
hauling schedules. The 1906 wood-burning steam loader was also used
by Carter-Kelley in building the Manning Mill, and later served on "portable"
logging railroads. Its cables could skid logs to tracks from distances
of 300 to 500 feet. Carter-Kelley merged in the 1930s with W. T. Carter
& Brother. This equipment was retired in 1950s.
