Climax Builder No. 1535 of the Preston Mill Co. in 1926 This is a 70 ton Class C engine built in March 1919. This locomotive is mistakenly noted by Picryl and the MSCUA University of Washington, as being a High Point Mill Company locomotive. Preston Mill and High Point are only a few miles apart so an easy mistake.

Waite Mill & Timber Company, Granite Falls, Washington in 1922. Climax Build No. 1005.
This picture interests me as the little girl on the front looks to be about 2 years old. Today, if she was still alive, she would be 104 years old.
