The Rhode Island Locomotive Works built this 0-4-4T Forney type locomotive that had 180 lbs. of boiler pressure, and weighted 60,000 lbs. Its tank held 700 gallons of water and it carried one ton of hard (anthracite) coal, which was used because it made less smoke. It is name for Charles H. Deere, son of John Deere, 2nd president of Deere and Company, a director of the Lake Street line. Replaced by electric power in 1896, it went to upper Michigan lumber and chemical companies. On the Sucker River RY, a lumber line near Newberry, MI. it was named "Big Alice." In 1944 it went to a Texas iron and chemical firm and in 1955 to Mexico. Donated in 1957 by the Mexican firm, La Condolidada, S.A., it was cosmetically restored as close as possible to its original appearance in 1995-96.
