Mayo Lumber Company No. 2

Mayo Lumber Company No. 2 is a Class PC-13 Shay - 3 truck that operates at Cass Scenic Railroad.
== History ==
Built in 1928 as a stock locomotive by Lima. At some point soon after, it was sold to the Mayo Lumber Company of Paldi, Vancouver Island, BC, where it was numbered #4.
In 1943, it was bought by the Lake Logging Co., at Cowichan Lake, BC, and renumbered #5. Three years later, it went to Western Forest Industries at Honeymoon Bay, BC, and then to Railway Appliance Research Ltd., at North Vancouver, BC, as #114.
It ended its career switching cars on the Vancouver docks in 1970, making it one of the last commercially operated Shays in the world.
It made its operational debut on the Cass Scenic Railroad in May 1972 burning No. 4 diesel fuel. For the next eleven years, it normally hauled the regular excursion trains to Bald Knob. In May 1983, it re-entered service after being converted to burn coal and having its original shotgun stack replaced by a diamond stack.
Today the locomotive is still operational at Cass Scenic Railroad.
