| Description |

This
36-ton engine was built by Lima Locomotive and Machine Co. in 1907
for Behring Co. of Texas, and soon purchased by W. T. Carter and Bro.
Lumber Co. Carter used it on the tram roads from forest to mills at
Manning and Camden, and later on the Moscow, Camden and San Augustine
Railroad. The introduction of railways into the forests revolutionized
the logging industry.
