Kiso - Baldwin 0-4-2T

This rear tank engine was born in Philadelphia for the sugar-cane firm. She made her debut in 1915 at Kiso. She was purchased by Henry L. Sorenson in 1960 as his Humboldt Northern Railway #6 (lettered for Kiso Forest Railway) in McKinleyville, California. The gauge has been widened from 30" to 36" to run with other locomotives on the Humboldt Northern. It operated on his farm until loaned to the California State Railroad Museum in 1999. It is operational.
