The 803 was purchased by Mr. Samuels in 1996 to augment the 801 in service on the Molalla Branch.   However it has spent
much of its career as a back up locomotive to 801.   

The 803 is an SW8 built in March, 1953, Builder no. 17160, frame no. 4165-2.   It was originally built for the TNO Railroad as
their No. 13 and later was owned by the Southern Pacific as their 1105.  It was last used by the Lewis & Clark Railroad (LINC).

The 803 is currently serving on the Molalla Branch as back up locomotive.  With the 901 as the primary Molalla Branch
locomotive and the 801 and 802 as back up, the 803 is currently rarely used.

These photos show the 803 as the SP 1105 working in San Fransico in 1982.   This photo, she is at the far right.  
This photo, she is front and center.  As well as this photo.
