Known locally as "Three Spot," this locomotive often pulled 30 to 40 cars carrying logs from area woodlands to the Patterson-McInnis Sawmill. Originally a wood-burning engine thought to have been built around 1915, it was converted to steam during its service, which ended about World War II. It was donated to Levy County by the Paterson-McInnis Lumber Company in 1969 and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation in the Gulf Hammock Wayside Park.
