Beautiful photo Mr.Shaw! This same engine can be seen in active duty as Bowaters no. 4 of the Bowaters Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Mill in Corner Brook, NL. Photographed by James A. Brown on June 19, 1967, it appears on page 158 of ‘RAILS AROUND THE ROCK – A Then & Now Celebration of the Newfoundland Branchlines. Nicknamed ‘The Dinky’, it operated on that industrial line until 1977 before being sold and shipped to St. Thomas, Ontario.
Thanks guys! I have even tread upon the rails in the Bowater complex where (our) #3, albeit long after “The Dinky” was gone from there! As a side not we have a locomotive #4 that doesn’t get a lot of publicity, a 5-ton Brookville that came from the CIL Munitions plant in Nobel. I’ll try to get around to submitting a shot of that one too. Maybe we’ll call it “The Dinkiest” as it’s a tiny, strange looking beast!
