GE 80-ton #101

Ex Pacific Lumber Co same# (Scotia, CA)

Jeff Moore reports:

Pacific Lumber Company had three of these 80-tonners. The two that Dick Samuels owns were purchased new. While the PALCO logging railroad closed in the late 1970's, the company maintained an in-plant switching railroad using the #101and #102 up until somewhere around 1990. The pair were stored in the North Coast Railroad yard in Eureka until late 1994/early 1995, when they were shipped out.
