HISTORY:



D5 NO. 138:

LRY D5 No. 138 was built in December 1902, by the Vincent Unipence Locomotive Company as an express engine. But was already out of date by the time 138 was finished, so 138 and most other D5s were used as passenger engines on 3 different branch lines, the Mt. Blackwater branch, the Mt. Thompson branch, and the Fort Attila branch. 138 was bought by the Linktonian Miltary, where it worked on the Fort Attila branch until 1928, where it was sold for scrap. But a week before it was supposed to be cut up, the Enskin Museum of Transportation bought it, where it is on static display to this day.



WINSTON NO. 690:

LRY No. 690 was one of 2 Winston class engines built in 1932 by the Vincent Unipence Locomotive Works as an extended version of a 4-6-4 to do banking at the Winston Grade at the bottom of Mt. Thompson in Clety. The engine pushed trains up the grade there until 1957, when 690 was set aside in a siding as part of the Linktonian Preservation Act of 1956, where engines that were retired, and able to be restored would be set aside until somebody comes to buy it. 690 sat there for about 2 days until the Enskin Museum of Transportation came and bought it, where it is on static display.


LRY NO. 800:

LRY No. 800 was built in 1922 by VULCO, to run long distance heavy freight trains. But in 1941, the engine, as well as 35 other H6s were bought by the Linktonian Military, where it pulled weapons to the coast on the Fort Attila branch, where the weapons were shipped off to Europe. 800 was used until 1944, when the engine recieved moderate damage from German sabotage, was sold for scrap with 2 other H6s, and LRY No. 720. 720 and 800 were bought by the Enskin Museum of Transportation, where the engine is on static display.

LRY NO. 720:

LRY No. 720 was built by VULCO in 1920 as a heavy freight locomotive, but was bought by the Linktonian Military in 1941, where unlike the other locomotives bought by the military, didn't have Linktonian Military painted on the tender. But in 1944, 720 was sold off for scrap with 3 H6s, including No. 800. 720 and 800 were bought by the Enskin Museum of Transportation, where the engine is on static display.

LRY NO. 1058:

LRY No. 1058 was built in 1942 by EMD for the LRY as a M.O.W. diesel, where it did maintenance work until 1976, when 1058 was put in a siding under the Linktonian Preservation Act of 1956, where it was bought by the Lake Willamette Railroad, shunting daily trains.

LRY GP9s NO. 2058 & 2059:

LRY 2058 & 2059 were built by EMD in 1955 as part of an order of 126 GP9s, 2058 and 2059 were retired in 1976 and 1980, both locomotives are now at the Lake Willamette Railroad running trains every other day, switching between the two.

LRY ANNIE CLASS:

The Annie Class was a class of 37 2-6-6Ts built by Milbrooke locomotive works, from 1897 to 1900.

LRY JERRY CLASS NO. 1:

LRY Jerry Class No. 1 was the 1st of 40 built by Milbrooke in 1930. The reason this Jerry class is numbered 1 is not because it is the 1st of its class, but because it replaced a Vincent Unipence C8. The 2nd No. 1 worked until 1946, where it was donated to the Enskin Museum of Transportation where it runs trains to Port Tuscan with LRY S160s 158 and 159.

LRY SD60M NO. 3000:

LRY SD60M No. 3000 was built in 1996 by EMD as a heavy freight locomotive, where it still works on the Mt. Blackwater branch to this day.

LRY A6-5 NO. 230:

LRY No. 230 was built by VULCO in 1928 as one if 16 locomotives, 230 worked in the Enskin City yard until 1939, when it was donated to the Enskin Museum of Transportation, where it is on static display.

NOTES:


VULCO stands for Vincent Unipence Locomtive Company



Some elaboration on the Preservation Act of 1956, it was to be able to discern which scrap dealers were really there to be a real scrap dealer, or just to scam companies like the LRY out of scrap money.



OTHER THAN THAT
