Also, Mogul 1749 was active on the Friant Branch into 1956, Consolidation 2777 was one of 3 known of this type to get a 12 wheel tender, Mogul 1660 worked the Napa Br. late in her career and Mike 3266 later called Mojave her home, being used on the Jawbone and even getting a little movie time in a WW2 film with Richard Widmark.
The Sugar Pine Lbr. Shay sat for sale for a number of years after the outfit folded in the 30's, but never found a buyer and was scrapped.
