A San Francisco company, M&C made logging equipment and it's said they also made locomotives. Any clues/leads? hankmorris@earthlink.net |

Marshultz & Cantrell built small geared steam locomotives with built-in steam winches, as well as skid mounted steam winches (or steam donkeys.) There are two such locomotives in existance. Both are at the Northern Counties Logging Museum, 3431 Fort Ave., Eureka, CA, USA. "Falk" is former ERM&LC #1; unknown construction number, built in 1884. "Gypsy" is former Bear Harbor #1; C.N. 8100 built in 1892. Both have made appearances at Railfair, and both are pictured in "Surviving World Steam Locomotives". There are also at least five steam donkeys in existance; one of them is pictured in "Surviving World Steam Vehicles". The "Geared Steam Locomotive Works" (sorry, I don't have the URL handy) also has information and photographs of Marshultz & Cantrell steam logging locomotives. Seems like I always miss the mark in trying to help you; I hope this helps. Thanks for your help in the past. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Locomotives james1@pernet.net |

> The third one, D.O. Mills & Co. No. 2 is > supposed to be at the Burnaby Village Museum I don't know how I overlooked this one. It is a slightly more conventional looking 0-4-4T, named "Emory", and was built in 1879. The location is Burnaby Village Museum, near Hastings ST (Rt 7A), Burnaby, BC, Canada. I'm sorry about the omission. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Locomotives james1@pernet.net |

The M&C locomotive at the Burnaby Village Museum was built in 1879 and was brought to British Columbia by Andrew Onderdonk, the contractor responsible for building the Canadian Pacific Railway from tidewater at Port Moody (just east of Vancouver) to a point in Eagle Pass where the last spike was driven. The locomotive was named "Emory" and carried CPR #2. It was later sold to Royal City Saw and Planing Mills and given #3, then to B.C. Mills,Timber and Trading in 1888 still as #3, then to Hastings Sawmill Co in 1926 as thier #3. It was acquired for preservation and displayed at the Pacific National Exhibition Grounds in Vancouver until 1973 when it was moved to Heritage Village. The locomotive has been well cared for and is part of the museum's core collection. > -James Hefner > Hebrews 10:20a http://www.wcra.org gferguson@aebc.com |

See Link below; thanks to Raymond Dewley for reminding me of it. Notice these locomotives are called "Gypsy" locomotives; something I could only vaguely remember when I first posted my response. > -James Hefner > Hebrews 10:20a Geared Steam Website - Marshultz & Cantrell james1@pernet.net |
