Weyerhaeuser appears to have initially adopted a relatively straight forward numbering system on its railroad equipment when it started the Klamath operations, as follows: Locomotives and Cranes, 0-100;
Tank cars and ballast cars, 200-299; Log flats, 300-699; and Cabooses and company service cars, 700-799. In the middle 1940s Weyerhaeuser used a four digit numbering system on some equipment that may have
been the last two digits of the year acquired and then the purchase order; Weyerhaeuser started using this system on at least locomotives in some of its operations in Washington and later used it on the
OC&E diesel fleet. Photos show cars on the Klamath operations show cars numbered in the 44-XX, 45-XX, and 49-XX series numbers, which indicates they could have been some form of accounting or other
administrative based numbering system. Sometime afterwards Weyerhaeuser changed the numbering system again, in the final iteration company service and maintenance cars got assigned 0XX-series numbers while
the explosion of log cars added to the roster got numbered wherever they would fit, though in the last years the company was numbering or renumbering the fleet into 3000-series numbers. The OC&E after
Weyerhaeuser bought the railroad had a relatively limited equipment roster, consisting of ballast cars in the 100-series and cabooses, idler flats, and tank cars in the 2000-series. |
