Note: This Class A Climax (S/N 804) was converted to internal combustion with a White 4 cylinder gasoline engine. About 1976, the locomotive was rebuilt with all new wood parts, but using the original hardware. The owners even added a fake boiler to the locomotive so that it would resemble its “as built” configuration.
