The J. Neils Lumber Co. had a total of five Shays, two of which were of the type C 60-3 with three trucks. No. 4 was originally built for the Western Pine Lumber Co. of Klickitat, WA in 1918 with the works number 2976. This company was bought by the J. Neils Lumber Co. in 1922. In 1929 they ordered the same type of Shay that was numbered 5 and carried the works number 3336. 5 was built as oil burner and 4 was also converted to oil.

Number 4 was scrapped in 1943, but 5 was used by its original owner until 1964, after the company had been renamed to Klickitat Log & Lumber Co. and had been bought by the St. Regis Paper Company. It then came to the Illinois Railway Museum which started to restore it in 2002. Restoration was completed in 2018 and the locomotive is today in working order.
