Crown Zellerbach had a 3 foot gauge road at their Camas, WA paper mill. Three of the electric locos went to a museum in Wisconsin. Does anyone know which museum and what happened to them? Here is what I have: #4 “OLD FRANK” GE C/N 9540 04-24 10 tons 30” dr E Crown Willamette Paper Crown Zellerbach Corp. #4 rebuilt by GE 1951 NRHS Pacific Northwest Chapter Glenwood, OR 1982 Mike Schlag Salem, OR 1997 Unknown museum in Wisconsin #6 GE C/N 28446 06-25-46 13 tons 31” dr E Crown Zellerbach Corp. #6 NRHS Pacific Northwest Chapter Glenwood, OR 1982 Mike Schlag Salem, OR 1997 Unknown museum in Wisconsin 2006 #7 GE C/N 32591 06-25-56 13 tons 31” dr E Crown Zellerbach Corp. #7 NRHS Pacific Northwest Chapter Glenwood, OR 1982 Mike Schlag Salem, OR 1997 Unknown museum in Wisconsin 2006 For Sale 2012 |

A colleague confirms the locomotives are at the Colfax Railroad Museum in Wisconsin. Wesley |

You are partially correct. Numbers 6 & 7 are at the Colfax Railroad Museum, Colfax, WI. We really appreciate the construction info. We had not been able to locate that data. Our website is: www.colfaxrrmuseum.org Herb Sakalaucks Colfax Railroad Museum |

Thank you Wesley and Herb. If #6 & 7 are at Colfax what happened to #4? The late Mike Schlag told me that all three had gone to Wisconsin. For the story on these little beasts see: https://www.pnwc-nrhs.org/Trainmaster19 ... 997-02.pdf |

There may be a bit of fuzzy memory involved here. Many years ago, Mike Schlag said the 1930s era locomotive and line car (unpowered work car) were sold to a Roy Rehmke in the Sacramento area. His name is associated with a rubber company in Manteca. http://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php?1,110261,110333#msg-110333 The article mentions 4 locomotives were at Glenwood. I wonder where the fourth is located? |

You are absolutely right. Mike owned three of the electrics, not four. See: http://ngdiscussion.net/phorum/read.php ... msg-110266 That lease #4 still missing. |

While we're on this subject, does anyone know what happened to the builder's plates for #6&7? We would like to locate those for our restoration effort. Lacking that. Were they cast or stamped steel? And any source available for reproduction of them? |

Three of us visited the Camas mill in 1982. All of the wire was down and most of the equipment was setting in the yard. The only thing moving was the Plymouth which was being used to switch flat cars into loading bays in the buildings. These were then decked over to provide floor space. It is possible that these cars are still there. |
