This second locomotive was purchased when early plans to extend the railroad to the Eel River were made. Delivered by steamer from San Francisco, it was unloaded at Bear Harbor. It was operated only a short time until the railroad shut down in late1905. Stored outside for many years, parts were stolen; it was donated to THA in derelict condition in 1979 by heirs of Bear Harbor Lumber Co. owners.
