Long Bell Lumber Co. 104 is a 2-6-2T steam locomotive it was built by Baldwin in 1907 for the Long-Bell Lumber Company.
The 104 ran on the United Railway, which had been incorporated in 1906 as an ambitious electric interurban destined, they thought, to reach San Francisco. Instead, the UR, which was ultimately wholly owned by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle (itself a Great Northern-Northern Pacific creation), became intertwined with the O-ALC.
The 104 served the United Railways lines until Long Bell Lumber sold it to Weaver Clark at Banks, Ore in 1956. Malarky Wall bought the 104 from Clark, stored it, then sold it to Frank Fisher, who later died and whose estate sold it to Fred Kepner at Modoc Northern Siding in Merrill, OR as part of a large collection.
