I mentioned in last week’s blog post that I would likely scan more of the photos from the late Tom Davidson’s Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co.<\/em> scrapbook. Today I have three more images to share. The first is another view of the little Prairie locomotive that Tom recorded sometime in the early 1960s. I noticed that the company name is no longer on the tender. Since the cab still has its number 1 on it, I presume the other lettering was intentionally removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a scene captured by C.W. Witbeck as the #1 is heading back to the mill with its train of logs. When enlarging my<\/em> scan, I think Tom’s photo was a scan from a magazine, evidenced by the half-tone appearance. Nevertheless, it’s a nice scene of the train heading out of the swamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"LCLC<\/a>
Notes on the photo: Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co. No. 1. A 2-6-2 built in 1921 by H.K. Porter for Rathborne Lumber Co. Sold in late 1960s and moved to Houston. Now stored in Atlanta. -1951<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bit more information about the whereabouts of the loco may be found on my older post from here: Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co. #1<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Be sure to read the comments on the post also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, the Witbeck image below is the water car that was trailed behind the locomotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"LCLC<\/a>
Notes on the photo: Conductor Lloyd Ballard rides the water car, used to supply water for the boilers of the swamp equipment, as it is backed into a siding. Tools and spare parts line the sides of the tank, ready for any problem. -1951<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note in these last two photographs that the Louisiana Cypress Lumber Co. Inc.<\/em> name does appear on the locomotive’s tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
