Pickering Lumber Co. No. 10 'P. J. Lynch'

Pickering Lumber Co. No. 10 named, P. J. Lynch was built in 1912 by Heisler for the Blue Jay Lumber Co, of Raleigh, WV.
It worked for a number of loggers in West Virginia until sold by a dealer in 1922 to the Standard Lumber Co., of Standard, CA, where it was numbered #10.
After Standard Lumber became Pickering Lumber in 1926, #10 worked for nearly another forty years before retiring in 1963.
The engine was then shipped with two other Pickering locomotives to a scrap yard in Stockton, CA, where it sat until 1966. At that time, Gus Peterson of Klamath, CA, was building a tourist railroad on part of his timber holdings in the California Redwoods.
In 1982, #10 was bought by the Mt. Rainer Scenic Railroad where it is placed on static display today outside the Elbe depot.
