September, 1920, a Deer Park Lumber Company Engine. (This engine is a type B 42-2 gear driven Shay steam locomotive manufactured by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio. If the date LZ placed on this photo is correct, it's likely that this engine is Lima shop #2219, built in 1909 for the Moore Logging Company of Wickersham, Washington. The date Deer Park Lumber Company purchased #2219 is currently unknown. Deer Park Lumber owned two nearly identical Shay engines; however, the second Shay - shop #2715 - was purchased in 1922. The B 42-2 designation simply indicates that this "Balloon" class locomotive is an engine/tender combination, that the machine weighs forty-two tons, and that the engine/tender is supported by two wheel-assembly trucks, with four wheel in each truck. The geared locomotive description alludes to the fact that unlike standard rod-style locomotives in which each revolution of the steam cylinder turns the drive wheel once, each cylinder revolution in a geared locomotive turns the drive wheel less than once. By requiring a fraction over two piston cycles to turn the Lima Shay's drive wheels one cycle, less speed is produced, but much more power is delivered to the wheels.)
