Wrong builders #. Myrtle is 7397. Also her tender tank is off of Kahului #11. It was found in a farmers field on Maui in 1970. It is identical to Kahului #12’s tank.

Pretty sure Myrtle is currently stored, or awaiting an overhaul

Spoke with the fireman about the trains, he said Myrtle had boiler issues and was no longer operational by the time the railroad was closing.

The LK&P shut down effective 8/1/14. Fate of the locomotives and rolling stock is unknown.

Peter, you are so verry wrong about where the tender came from. It was made on the island and not from 111. I have talked to the crew about the locomotives a lot. Also the tender from 111 is similar in many ways but not what Myrtle has.

JD you are wrong! Per Gerald Best,Pacific Coast Railroad locomotive No. 111 was sold through Aaron Feher Co. to Oahu Railroad 1/1942. Scrapped in 1946. The tender on No. 3 and picture of No. 111 looks identical

The tender was built by a local welder named ?Blackie? but I do know it was built on the Island

The "Whaleback" or "halfback" tender is larger tender and has greater capacity for long-distance runs. Southern Pacific designed and built many of these tenders, they were seldom used on any other railroads. Who knows? Maybe it is a Southern Pacific narrow gauge tender No. 3 is using?

#3 is getting piston work done. She broke a piston ring and scrached a cylinder. Getting repaired soon... Should be opperational in a month or so.

A loaded dump truck hit a steamlocomotive on the Lahania, Kaanaplia & Pacific tourist railroad in Mali on September 7, 2006, causing the No. 3 "Myrtle" to derail.

Myrtle suffer front-end damage and losing her headlight. Myrtle is out of service for repair.

Does anyone have any information about the "whaleback" tender on #3? I understand it was common on the Southern Pacifics' Narrow and Standard gauge lines (mostly NG) and would like to know if this is #3's original tender or if it was taken off of a SP Narrow Gauge loco.
