Originally, Dunsmuir, Diggle & Co. gauge #2, Duchess. (Named for Catherine S. D. Wellesley [1773–1831], wife of the 1st Duke of Wellington.) Dunsmuir, Diggle sold to Wellington Colliery Railroad in 1883. Duchess converted to a 2-4-0T by disconnecting the front drivers, and gauge widened to , most likely about 1889. Resold to John Irving Navigation Co. via Albion Iron Works (dealer) in April 1900, for use on the Taku Tram. Irving Navigation purchased by the WP&YR in June 1900. Duchess powered the Taku Tram from 1900 to 1920. Used as a trash burner at Carcross, Yukon from 1920 to 1931. In 1931 the locomotive was put on display at the WP&YR depot in Carcros, Yukon, and remains there today.2nd 4Baldwin Locomotive WorksSeptember 191237564Originally, Klondike Mines Railway #4.

Acquired by the WP&YR in 1899, as #8. In 1900 the locomotive was renumbered 58 on paper, but the locomotive itself was never physically renumbered. Sold to W.D. Hofius & Co. (dealer) in 1902. Resold in 1903 to the White Bros.- or White Star Lumber Co., who reduced it to an 0-4-(4-0) [2-truck] type and converted it to standard gauge (WSL #1). Probably scrapped about 1916. The known evidence suggests that this locomotive was not sold to the Maytown Lumber Co.It is undisputed that Climax #167 was sold to a logging company in Washington State in 1903. Graves, P. C. (1956). "The Gold Rush Route." 67 Railroad Magazine, Number 3 (April 1956), at page 69 ("sold to Washington Logging Co., 1903"). However, the Maytown Lumber Co. could not have been a 1903 purchaser. The Maytown company did not begin railroad operations until 1912. , at page 129; , at Appendix (Washington). In addition, the Maytown company did not own any Climax locomotives. The Maytown company owned only one geared locomotive. , at Appendix (Washington). That lone Maytown geared locomotive was Lima Locomotive & Machine Co. (Shay) Shop #666 – not any Climax. , at page 404. The earliest known report that the Maytown Lumber Co. owned Climax #167 was made in 1960, four years after the 1956 Railroad Magazine account and many years after Climax #167 no longer existed. , at page 79. That report further stated that the Maytown company bought the locomotive in 1903 – nine years before the Maytown company began railroad operations. That 1960 report has often been repeated. Messrs. Taber and Casler resided in Pennsylvania. It is not known who their 1950s Washington State correspondent might have been. The correspondent did not recall that Climax #167 had been converted to standard gauge or that it had been reduced to 2-truck or that it had been owned by White Bros./White Star Lumber Co. beginning in 1903 and for at least nine more years. Because the correspondent is unknown, because the correspondent did not recall much about the locomotive, because the Maytown railroad did not exist until long after 1903, and because the Maytown company is not known to have owned any Climax locomotives, the known evidence suggests that the Maytown Lumber Co. did not own Climax #167.USA 10Baldwin Locomotive WorksJanuary 191642768Originally, East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad #10.
