The Deuce
This locomotive is the Comox Logging and Railway Company’s Two-Spot, their number 2 engine which was referred to as "The Deuce" by its crew. It is a 2-6-2 steam locomotive manufactured by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia in July 1910, for the Fraser River Logging Company. The Deuce worked in the Comox Valley, Ladysmith and around Nanaimo Lakes, and was donated to the City of Courtenay after it was taken out of service in 1960.

I live beside a giant's house
And guard him like a gnome
A major street and side road meet
Outside our humble home
He stands beside me on a track
Beneath a big red roof
An old black horse of massive force
And history is the proof
Behind a gate he's been locked in
Atop a concrete floor
You step inside but cannot ride
His power is no more
So here I dwell inside my cave
And honour my true goal
Fenced in by green and only seen
As keeper of this soul
