OCSR's "The Curtis Lumber Company" #2 at Rockaway Beach, OR, 7/21/06. Built in 1910, No. 2 is a Heisler locomotive, one of the 3 types of geared steam locomotives. Heisler used a 2-cylinder 90-degree V design with one cylinder on either side of the boiler and a driveshaft to each of the powered trucks. Geared locomotives were favored in logging operations for their slow speed operation and ability to operate on poor quality trackage.
