This 1927 Lima Shay started its life in Squamish with the Merrill & Ring Lumber company as #2, and was acquired by the Comox Logging & Railway and renamed No. 12 in 1942.
In 1962 the locomotive was put on display in Ladysmith as part of the Logging Equipment Museum of Crown-Zellerbach, Canada.. When the museum shut down, #12 was relocated to Cowichan Lake where it was put on static display outside of the Kaatza Station Museum, Cowichan’s old E&N railway station.
