Mural #28 No. 3 Climax Engine
Engineer Sam Alexander operated the No. 3 Climax Engine as it hauled logs along the rails of the Chemainus Valley. The E&N Railway was completed in 1886, although working trains had been a familiar sight in the community for some years already. The larger engines plied the rails through the hills and the valleys of the E&N land belt, from which the Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company drew a great deal of its timber. Smaller, more compact engines worked nearer to and at the mill, shunting timber and finished products to where they were needed.
