Anybody have a history on this little 0-4-0T?:

Perhaps a Davenport? Standard gauge? Maybe ex-Great Western Sugar? Any info welcome.

Here's a clue. But not much of one.

I asked a friend of mine who lives in that area about the locomotive. He mentioned the following:

"Drive buy it all the time. It sits in front of the old Hugo Train Depot. It is one of the larger train stations in the region. This engine was probably used as a switching engine to move timber/lumber to the creosote treatment pits that were in Hugo. Dierks lumber owned the creosote treatment plants that were a major reason the town of Hugo exists. The pits haven’t operated in years but the smell is still detectable. "

I'm sure if anyone had any questions on ownership or had an interest in it that I could pass that on.
