Another shot of the Almanor Railroad #106, to become
Big Creek & Telocaset #106, at Chester, CA. Earl Spencer photo, from Pacific News issue #38. The BC&T never
relettered the locomotive during its years of service on the road from what is seen here, and, except for the addition of large snowplows on both ends
of the locomotive, it retained this appearance
until after its arrival in western Oregon.

The former #106, still wearing its Almanor/BC&T orange paint but simply
relettered as Boise-Cascade #1, switching in Valsetz, Oregon, on 30 December 1969.

The former BC&T #106, now
property of Stimson Lumber Company, switching cars at their plant. The ex-SP bay window caboose is used
as a spacer car so that the locomotive does not have to tread onto some of the more questionable spurs
in the complex. Photo courtesy of Scott Anderson.
