This locomotive was run in the yards of Canadian Sugar at Raymond Alberta, pushing sugar beet cars, this information was given to me by the late Daryl Green, who purchased this locomotive and then trucked it to Kootney Lake to set up a tourist railway park. He had a partner from Cardston AB. The park failed and he returned to Lethbridge AB to work in the Lethbridge Jail. He visited our site the Galt Historic Railway Park and donated some artefacts to the museum and told us of the little steamer which ran past our station. The rail car was a replica which he built from scratch. They operted a model train set inside the car when the park was operating. His background included being a wiper in the Lethbridge Roundhouse while he was in school. Hope you find this interesting, I hope the little locomotive has gone to a good home. Bill

This is an 0-4-4T, not an 0-4-0T. Kenneth G. Johnsen's book "Washington Steam Locomotives" lists the following specifications and information for this locomotive: Built by Davenport Locomotive Works in 1920, C/N 1768. Cylinders: 12x16" Driver Diameter: 36" Weight: 40 tons Built for the Vancouver Machinery Depot, Limited. In 1933 it became Canadian Sugar Factories number 9. Acquired by a private owner in 1972 and moved to Thorp. Kenneth's book is copywrite 1978, so the locomotive was moved to Moses Lake sometime after that.
