That's one of two ex-military American locomotive cranes the North Coast Railroad got a few years before they shut down. The other is rapidly being consumed by forest undergrowth up at Scotia:

The one at Dos Rios is numbered C-145, while the one at Scotia is the C-146.

There is a Burro crane on the NWP, specifically one the Eureka Southern inherited with their purchase of the Arcata & Mad River Railroad. It has been at Shively since the NWP shut down and is just visible in the sattelite imagery here:

Last I knew, this one still carried full A&MR lettering!
