Title
English: High Point Mill Company's Climax class C locomotive with crew, ca. 1926
Description
English:

The picture of the Climax locomotive you have for High Point Mill Company is of a "Class C" (three trucks) locomotive. The ownership/mfg roster for Climax Locomotives in the book "The Climax Locomotive" by Dennis Thompson notes that High Point Mill Co owned only one Climax and it was a "Class B" (two truck) locomotive. (Note from researcher 1/2013) PH Coll 516.1485

The High Point Mill Company was in business from ca. 1922 to ca. 1930, with logging operations on Tiger Mountain. High Point is a small community two miles east of Issaquah in west central King County. It was established as a sawmill center in 1905 and named by John Lovegren. The name is descriptive, as the place was at the top of a steep grade on the Snoqualmie branch of Northern Pacific Railway. It was once nicknamed Little Sweden, and for a time when there were many Johnsons, Swensons, Piersons, and Petersons in the neighborhood.
