Fruit Growers No. 2 was purchased new from Baldwin in 1921. It remained in operation throughout the existence of railroad logging operations on the Lassen Operation until 1952. It was scrapped in 1953.
It should be noted when Fruit Growers built its mill in Susanville in 1919/20, they referred it to simply as the Lassen Operation. In 1944, when Fruit Growers purchased nearby Westwood from the Red River Lumber Company, they changed the name of Lassen to the Susanville Operation.
