J. Neils Lumber Co. No. 4 is a two-truck Shay locomotive built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1906 for the J. Neils Lumber Co.
The engine was design to work for logging duties for the J. Neils Lumber Co.
The engine was later transported to the rainy river lumber co.
It used to work in the woods and mines until the arrival of log trucks and cats in the 1920's and the 1930's.
Today it's under a rebuild at the Libby Heritage Museum.
