	Steamtown NHS: Special History Study
		Apparently the lumber firm relied on the Grand Trunk's locomotives to switch cars in and out of the new industrial spur, but when Grand Trunk engines were unavailable, the firm employed oxen to move empty and loaded cars on the spur to the Grand Trunk.
		The Berlin Mills Railway's roster of motive power reached its peak during the 1920s--Moody's Manual of Investments for 1926 reported nine locomotives on the property to operate 3.75 miles of "main line" track (the spur to the Grand Trunk) and 13.75 miles of plant trackage, for a total track mileage of 17.50.
		Upon completion of this report, the locomotive should be restored as Berlin Mills Railway No. 7, repainted, lettered and numbered in a historically accurate fashion for that railroad, with whatever color lettering and decoration documentary research and physical research determines was in use during the 1920s or earlier on engines of the Berlin Mills Railway.

		The Grand Trunk, in order to command its share in the through business from Chicago to the Last, had to find a way to eliminate the river difficulty at Detroit.
		The third aim of the railway managers is to shorten the time lost by the cars forced out of service by bad condition.
		Whether the cars being sent by gravity down the incline and onto their respective tracks are from a train that has just rolled in or from scores of sources, each goes to its particular track, and one switching crew with one engine does the work that six crews and engines do in the old-fashioned yards.
