| Remarks & Notes |
| Detail shot of the nose plate on the Algonquin Park Logging Museum's old MLW 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotive on display. Locomotive was manufactured "at Montreal for a contractor in Nova Scotia and acquired in 1913 by the Booth & Shannon Lumber Co. at Biscotasing, Ont. The locomotive was used to move lumber cars there and continued when Pratt & Schanacy of Midland acquired the mill. When the Mill finally closed in 1927 the engine sat unused on a piece of track opposite Pratt & Schanacy's store. Somehow being bypassed by wartime scrap drives, the sawmill was dismantled and moved to Harcourt (Pine Grove) in 1938. In 1958 David Lorne Pratt of Toronto donated his Father's steam locomotive to Algonquin Park for display."
