Steam locomotive and tender No. 3 were bought in 1908 by Carter-Kelley Lumber Co. for use in building a sawmill at Manning, about 18 miles south, then in railroad building, logging, and passenger and freight hauling schedules. The 1906 wood-burning steam loader was also used by Carter-Kelley in building Manning Mill and later served on portable logging railroads. Its cables could skid logs to tracks from distances of 300 to 500 feet. Carter-Kelley merged in the 1930s with W.T. Carter and Brother. This equipment was retired in the 1950s.
