Steam locomotive #4 is a 32 ton Heisler logging locomotive built in 1929.  Bought in 1958 to provide steam kiln heat for the International Shoe Co. in Marlington West Virginia.    Arrived at Clark's Trading Post in 1959 with leaks.  Sent to Portland for installation of a new "mud ring" near the bottom of the firebox.  In 1963 it returned to Clark's.  From 1964 until 1976 it hauled the White Mountain Central excursion train full-time.  From 1977 until 1984  it hauled the excursion train intermittently.  By 1984 the passenger service had grown to 5 cars which caused the Heisler wheels to slip on the rails.  At that point the locomotive was stored inside the back engine shed.  It was run intermittently until Sept 2006.  The last boiler inspection revealed that a number of boiler stay bolts will need to be replaced at a cost in the neighbourhood of $20K.  It is currently stored unserviceable.  Plans for its future have not yet been decided.
