California / Logging / Butte and Plumas Railway
Compiled by John F. Hall.
The Butte and Plumas Railway was incorporated in 1910 and controlled by the Tahoe Land and Lumber Company. The Swayne Lumber Company had a small logging railroad nearby. In 1912 the idle TL&LCo and B&P were purchased by the West Side Lumber Company. Sometime in 1912 the West Side exchanged the B&P No. 4 Shay for the Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite Valley Railroad's No.1 Heisler. The TL&LCo and B&P remained idle until 1917 when the WSLCo. sold the TL&LCo. and B&P to the Swayne Lumber Company. The SLCo. then combined the locomotive roster of its railroad with the B&P roster and renumbered the locomotives accordingly.
| TLCo. 1910- 1917 No. | SLCo. 1911- 1917 No. | SLCo. 1917- 1942 No. | Whyte | Builder | C/N | Order Date | In Service Date | Class | Cyl. | Drv. | Wt. | Notes | |
