Engine Timelines

Below are five timelines pertaining to the various engines owned by the Crowell family and affiliates. The timelines are separated by the different companies: the various Crowell Lumber companies, Red River & Gulf Railroad company, Alexandria Lumber company, and Meridian Lumber company. The first link is a complete timeline which includes all four companies and their locomotives to provide a more in depth understanding of how each one is in correlation to another. Under each company and their timeline link is a list in chronical order of purchase of the engines. These lists are not complete as we continue to find new information and photographs of other locomotives that were used by these companies.

There are a few engines some are sure to recognize as they are housed here at the museum!
