El Dorado Lumber Co. No. 8 and Shay C-65-3

El Dorado Lumber Co. No. 8 was a three-truck, three-cylinder Shay of type C-65-3 that was delivered in 1904 with works number 885. It was originally coal-fired with a coal capacity of five tons, but was later converted to oil-firing with a capacity of 1,180 gallons. It soon became No. 1 of the Camino, Placerville & Lake Tahoe Railroad. In 1931, they ordered a similar, 70-ton Shay that had originally been built for the Little River Redwood Company. The photo shows both in 1951 hauling an excursion train. Both were retired in 1955 and No. 1 was scrapped, while No. 2 came to Griffith Park Travel Town Museum.
