Carbon Limestone Co. No. 1, named Anaka is a 2-4-0 steam locomotive it was built by H.K. porter in 1942 for the Carbon Limestone Company and named Anaka.

The locomotive was design to haul rock for the Carbon Limestone Company until it was retired from service in 1963.

The engine has undergone extensive exterior modification since it was originally produced by Porter.

These changes transformed the engine from a tank-type 0-4-0 industrial locomotive, into a livelier and more colorful 2-4-0 engine representative of many small mainline engines once found on railroads throughout the United States in the late 19th century.

Today it's restored by the Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad in Lahaina, Hawaii.
