W.T. Carter & Bro. Engine #3 is a 1908 Baldwin steam locomotive. It operated at Carter-Kelly Lumber Compay at Manning from 1915 to 1936, and then transferred to Camden where it continued operations until 1953. Originally a wood burner, it later converted to oil.


Historial Marker

Steam locomotive and tender No. 3 were bought 1908 by Carter-Kelley Lumber Co., for use in building a sawmill at Manning (about 18 mi. south); then in railroad building, logging, and passenger and freight hauling schedules. The 1906 wood-burning steam loader was also used by Carter-Kelley in building Manning Mill, and later served on "portable" logging railroads. Its cables could skid logs to tracks from distances of 300 to 500 feet. Carter-Kelley merged (1930s) with W. T. Carter & Brother. This equipment was retired in 1950s.
