Steam Engine Comox Logging Co Ladysmith BC
COMOX LOGGING LOCOMOTIVE #11 Built in 1923 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works Eddystone, PA. The Comox Logging Company purchased it in 1937 and used it continuously hauling logs from the Nanaimo Lakes. It was retired in 1961. Overhauled for display it was given to Ladysmith in 1962. Technically it is a 2-8-2 (based on the wheel grouping) and was called a Mikado as many of that design were sent to Japan. The lights and Maker's Plate have been removed for security, however there will soon be a secure enclosure to protect it. To find it go to Oyster Bay Road, best found off the road to Transfer Beach.
