Lumberjack Steam Train Leaving the Logging Camp 5 Complex

The "4-spot" Steam Locomotive was built in 1916 by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. It was purchased September 22, 1926 and was brought to Laona for use in the logging industry. The steam engine pulls two all-steel passenger coach cars, an open air observation car and three cabooses. The "4-spot" is the only "PRAIRIE" style steam locomotive operating in the state of Wisconisn. The "PRAIRIE" style steam locomotive is a classification based on wheel arrangement. The PRAIRIE style is a 2-6-2, which means there are 2 leading wheels, 6 coupled driving wheels, and 2 trailing wheels. The first American Prairie type were built in 1900 by Brook for the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad for use in the Mid-West prairies (hence the name). Baldwin also made a number of these engines which were used by the Aitchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe Railroad and also by the Burlington Railroad. A majority of American 2-6-2 Prairie type were tender locomotives. The American Car and Foundry Company built the coach named the "Hamilton Roddis", in 1923 for the Soo Line.Barney and Smith built the coach named the "Otter Creek" in 1911 also for the Soo Line. It was rebuilt in 1941. The cabooses have unique cupolas and offer "up in the trees" views of the passing forest. The Camp 7 caboose is an 18 passenger cupola style caboose. It was originally the Duluth, Mesabi, & Iron Range caboose #589. The Camp 5 caboose was Soo Line's Caboose No. 147. In 2008 the Lumberjack Steam Train added a new feature; an old box car originally built by Haskel and Barker in July 1920 and part of the Laona & Northern Railway, has been carefully converted into an open air observation car.
