Summary[edit]

Description

Built by Baldwin for the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co., in 1922 as #5, this Mikado (2-8-2) type locomotive worked in Bend, OR. It should not be confused with Brooks-Scanlon 2-6-2 #5 based in Perry, FL, with its characteristic cabbage stack.

  1. 5 was later sold to the Alaska Junk Co., in Portland, OR, and then bought in 1956 by the Georgia-Pacific Corp., to work in Toledo, OR. That year, the GP had purchased a stretch of ex-Coos Bay Lumber trackage from Yaquina and Toledo to Selitz and Monmouth, but #5’s life on the line was short lived. It was abandoned in December 1959 and, the following year, the locomotive was donated to the City of Corvallis, OR, and went on display in Avery Park.

The engine weighs 144,000 lbs, 116,000 lbs on its 44” drivers. An oil burner operating at a boiler pressure of 190 psi with 18” x 24” cylinders, it delivered 28,600 lbs tractive effort. The second, low set of handrails along the running board were added when it went on display. The locomotive appears to be reasonably well looked after, although the headlamp is missing and the backhead is quite bare.
