CIP 101
Title:  CIP 101
Description:  VANCOUVER WA Oct 2 1978 -- Columbia Industrial Park 80-ton Whitcomb 101 (built in July 1944) awaits switching duties as Burlington Northern cabooses roll east in the background. It started life at the Navy Ammunition Depot (McAlester OK). It then went through several transactions. In September 1947 it served with Weyerhaeuser (Longview WA) as 112 and later 304. It was then sold to Longview Fibre Company (Longview WA) as 7011. In March 1966 it was sold to dealer D.C. Southland, sold to Vinnell Construction Company (Starbuck WA), sold to Lampson Railroad Contractors (Pasco WA) and finally acquired in 1973 by Columbia Industrial Park as 101. The company changed its name to Columbia Business center and I saw the locomotive being scrapped on a delivery track at the business center around 2010. Dummy that I am I didn‚Äôt get a photo of the scrapping and don‚Äôt remember the actual date. DUH!
