Prototype Information
The Schafer Brothers Logging Company originated as a family logging company headed by Peter, Albert, and Hubert Schafer. The small scale of the timber harvest six miles up the Satsop River from its mouth in the first two decades can be gauged by the use of oxen and horses to skid the logs to the sawmill.
The operation steadily grew, however, especially after the company bought a 45-ton Heisler geared locomotive in 1913. "At the peak of operation," says the Digital Collections caption, "the Schafers were running one of the largest logging, milling and shipping concerns in the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest." Rail lines totalled 100 miles (161 km) served by 18 locomotives.

102 was an oil-burning logging like her sister 101 (Locobase 13947), but the newer engine arrived with a superheated boiler and 12' piston valves to feed the cylinders. According to the specs, the engine operated on 60 lb/yard (30 kg/metre) rail and encountered maximum grades of 6%. See the earlier engine for comments about significant work the SFTC felt compelled to wreak on the backhead of the 101's firebox after cracks radiated from 50 rivet holes while the engine was in service.
The 102 would later work for
