A Second Look At this David Ryan Heisler Photo?

"Ryan Siding RR" Heisler, as seen at Coulee City, WA, probably in 1935. David Ryan had won the bid to build the construction railroad from Coulee City to the Grand Coulee Dam site in 1934/35 and used this engine to help complete the work. The Coulee City water tank and coaling dock can be seen behind the engine. 

It was built as a 75 ton Heisler (serial number 1444), built  9/1920 for Union Lbr. Co., of Packwood Spur, WA.

Then to Hedlund Lbr. & Mfg. Co., Marcus, WA.

Then to David Ryan Construction Co., Coulee Dam, WA (Ryan Siding RR), 1934.

To Eugene Enloe, (Dealer), Spokane, WA, 1935.
