The first train operated on 13 October 1883.[3] OperationB.F. Brock operated his narrow gauge logging railway in Coal Creek near Eufaula from 1883 to 30 June 1904, when it was absorbed by the Eastern and Western Lumber Company.[1] It ran from the logging camp on Eufaula Heights downhill to Coal Creek Slough, where the logs were dumped into the river.[1] In 1896 it was listed as having 3.2 miles of line, in 1901 it had 8 miles and finally in 1903 even 10 miles (5.1 km, 12.9 km and 16.1 km). TakeoverThe company was renamed Eastern & Western Lumber Company on 1 July 1904. It leased the railway to the independent Eufaula Co. The network was extended to {{convert|11|mi|km}} by 30 June 1910, {{convert|12|mi|km}} by 30 June 1911 and to {{convert|15|mi|km}} by 1923.[2] At one point in history, Mosquito Creek was renamed Harmony Creek.[1] ClosureThe Eastern and Western Lumber Company went out of business 1926.[1] Rolling stock{{multiple image| align = left | direction = | background color = | total_width = 450 | caption_align = | image1 = 'The Ant,' of the Mosquito and Coal Creek logging railroad, Washington.png | caption1 = | image2 = 'The Ant,' the first locomotive built on the Pacific Coast shown on Mosquito and Coal Creek logging railroad, Washington.jpg | caption2 = | footer = 'The Ant,' the first locomotive built on the Pacific Coast shown on Mosquito and Coal Creek logging railroad }} The Ant was a 0-4-0T steam locomotive made by Fulton Iron Works in September 1871. It had {{convert|6|by|12|in|mm}} cylinders and a weigth of 7 tons, running on a 3 foot 6 gauge. It was first used as Seattle & Walla Walla Railroad #5 (Feb 1878), then as the first Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad #5 (Nov 1880). The it was sold to Ordway & Weidler Oak Point, Washington (May 1883) before it came to B. F. Brock (Mosquito & Coal Creek RR) at a price of $2000 near Stella, Washington (Oct 1883). It retired in 1890 and was displayed by W. H. Williamson at Stella in 1903. It was then acquired by Long-Bell Lbr. Co. Longview, WA (1923) and donated to the Longview, Portland and Northern Railway (1924) the B. F. Brock Logging Company acquired a new two-truck Shay locomotive with builder's No 272 of 1901.
