Built in 1909 by H. K. Porter, the Santa Cruz Portland Cement Co. #2 was purchased in 2006 by Efstathios I. Pappas. Affectionately known as "The Chiggen," this locomotive served as a billboard for a fried chicken restaurant for over 30 years before rebuilding began. This locomotive is available for rent and special events and use on your railroad.
