Locomotives[edit]

I have included within the table not only the eleven locomotives used by the Oregon and Eureka and preceding companies, but also the locomotives used by Hammond Lumber Company at Samoa, California and Little River Redwood Company at Crannell, California during and following Northwestern Pacific Railroad operation of this branch line. Information is missing for three locomotives from the latter category. Hammond appears to have continued the Oregon and Eureka numbering sequence for conventional rod locomotives working out of Samoa. Identification of numbers 13 and 14 is missing. Number 13 may have been assigned to Baldwin Locomotive Works 2-6-6-2 Tank locomotive C/N 60871. Number 14 may be an unidentified rod locomotive arriving between 1931 and 1941. Number 3 is missing from the numbering sequence of Little River Redwood Company Shay locomotives working out of Crannell. It may be an unidentified Heisler locomotive or Climax locomotive arriving between 1913 and 1922. Information may be available at the California State Railroad Museum or from the Hammond Lumber Company Collection at Humboldt State University.Thewellman (talk) 18:14, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
