Provenance |
Photograph is part of the Collection of Ronald Ian Burnett. The No. 10 caboose was used in the museum since 1964 but saw little service. Beforehand it was used in Glenora & Western Railway at Gerry Wellburn's property in Deerholme. It was scrapped in 1993. Gerry Wellburn (1900 - 1992) was the founder of the BC Forestry Museum (now the BC Forest Discovery Centre). He logged for several years, having founded the Wellburn Timbers Ltd., a sawmilling and logging company in Duncan, in the 1930's. In 1943 he sold the company to his friend H. R. MacMillan and continued on as manager of the then Shawnigan Division of MacMillan & Bloedel Ltd. |
