Satsop Railroad No. 1 'C.F. White'

Satsop Railroad No. 1 is a 14-ton 0-4-2T tank engine steam locomotive built in June, 1885 by H. K. Porter in Pittsburgh, PA, for the logging industry in Washington State.
Originally named "Currie," then later the "C.F. White," the locomotive was used to haul logs and perform other switching duties for several railroad entities, all of which were components of the Simpson Logging Company, which still exists today as the Simpson Timber Company.
The Satsop Railraod No. 1 became the Washington Southern Railroad No. 1 in 1891, then the Peninsular Railway No. 1 in 1895, then followed by the Shelton Logging Co. No. 1 in 1899. Three years later, the No. 1 was once again a Peninsular Railway Co. engine, but was renumbered to No. 6. Finally in 1935, the No. 6 became Simpson Logging Co. No. 1. After 60+ years of service, the locomotive was placed on display at Simpson's Camp Grisdale as Satsop No. 1, the "C.F. White." 
In 1985, the locomotive was acquired by a local shopkeeper and former Simpson Logging engineer who had it restored to operational condition. The owner constructed about 1,500 feet of standard gauge track on his property and occasionally operated the locomotive along with a small, 4-wheel "bobber" style caboose that they had built to pull behind the engine. In 1995, the locomotive, caboose, and a 4-wheel, center-dump ballast car were sold to the Super Mall of the Great Northwest in Auburn, WA, and was moved there for static display outside the south entrance to the mall.
In 2013, the locomotive, caboose, and ballast car were donated and moved by truck to the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad and Logging Museum in Mineral, WA. All three were cosmetically restored and currently reside in the museum on static display unlikely to ever operate again.
