The Class L-4 Steam Locomotives were originally used by the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad. They became SP&S locomotives when the SP&S acquired the A&CR.

Background

The Astoria & Columbia River Railroad ran from Portland OR to Astoria OR along the south bank of the Columbia River. In 1896-97 several locomotives were obtained secondhand for the newly completed line. Among these locootives were A&CR numbers 6 and 7. These locomotives would become the two members of Class L-4 when the SP&S bought out the A&CR in 1911.

Numbering

Upon the acquisition of the A&CR by the SP&S both locomotives were renumbered and placed into Class L-4. A&CR Number 6 was renumbered SP&S number 53 on February 24, 1911. A&CR Number 7 was renumbered SP&S number 54 on February 24, 1911.^[2]

Disposition

SP&S Number 53 was sold to Warren CC on May 6, 1920. SP&S Number 54 was dismantled in May 1924.^[3]
