Fruit Growers Locomotive No. 33

FGS No. 33 -David Martin

In 1921, Fruit Growers bought a new Baldwin locomotive, that was designated the No. 33. Some where the down line they changed it the No. 2.  In 1952 Fruit Growers discontinued railroad logging on the Lassen (Susanville) Operation. In 1955, Fruit Growers announced the closure of Westwood Operation. In 1956, Fruit Growers sold the entire Westwood Operation to a liquidation company Wershow & Weisz. Some Fruit Growers locomotives were included and auctioned off in the fall of 1956. If  No. 33 was included, that information would be in my Fruit Growers Westwood file that is in storage.
