Enterprise Lumber Co. No. 4

Enterprise Lumber Co. No. 4 is a 3 truck Shay. It was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1906 for the Enterprise Lumber of Sims, LA, as #4.
It was first used for the Enterprise Lumber Co. to haul log trains.
In 1913, it was sold to Cherry River Boom & Lumber, Richwood, WV, as #16; in 1949 it went to J. Natwick & Co., Alexander, WV; and in 1950 to F. C. Cook, Alexander, WV.
In 1953 it was leased to Beech Mountain Railroad, Alexander, WV, then one year later in 1954 it was finally sold to Ely-Thomas Lumber in Fenwick, WV, where it worked as #2.
It was retired from service in 1964, and it is now seen on static display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
==Trivia==
*The locomotive was bought by the museum in 1966 and restored to look like one of the Shays that operated on the Leetonia Logging Railway in the Pine Creek area of Pennsylvania, although it never actually worked on the Leetonia. Also it was renumbered #1 and relettered Leetonia Railway.
*Like many lumber locomotives, it had a varied career, moving through different ownerships as lumber regions were clear felled and then abandoned.
*The ten mile line connecting Leetonia with the New York Central at Tiadaghton through the rugged Pine Creek gorge had a relatively short life.
*Opened in 1899 it ceased operations in the early 1920's by which time most of the lumber had been milled out. None of the Shays that operated on the Leetonia has survived.
