Portland, OR - on the Peninsula Terminal Co.
Nov. 1999

Acquired new by the LP&N.

The LP&N had three seperate operations: Rye Jct. to Chelatchie, WA (33 miles), Willamina to Grande Ronde, OR, and Gardiner Jct. to Gardiner, OR (3.6 miles). I am not sure which line#130 first saw service on, but I think it may have originally been used on the Chelatchie line, and later transferred to the Gardiner line.

After the LP&N abandoned their Gardiner, OR, line in 1999, #130 spent some time on the Peninsula Terminal Co. in Portland, OR.

Sold in 1999, now at Dow Chemicals (Taft, LA) numbered BDLX 130.
