Louisiana Cypress Lumber Company No. 3

Louisiana Cypress Lumber Company No. 3 is an Oil burning 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive it was built by the H. K. Porter Company in 1914 in Pittsburgh, PA, as #1 for the Lyon Cypress Lumber Co., at Garyville, LA.
Some time in the 1920s, the locomotive was sold to the Louisiana Cypress Lumber Company where it was renumbered as #3.
Louisiana Cypress was then going to cut up #3 but scrap prices were too low so they parked it by the lumber yard in about 1947 until it was moved to present location.
Today #3 is on display at Depot Park in Ponchatoula, LA, next to the old Illinois Central, now the Canadian National mainline.
