Chiggen
Santa Cruz Portland Cement 2.
Looking at the Porter Catalog one can imagine the Santa Cruz Portland Cement company placing a telegraph order with the code-name "Klinge" for a Class B-S locomotive. An 0-4-0 with a smart saddle tank, 15" cylinders and a 24" stroke, and 18,000 lbf of tractive effort. The locomotive was completed in 1909.
Chiggen only somehow manages to be a slightly less silly name than Class B-S "Klinge" was anyways.
Edit: I changed some of the caption when Stathi Pappas, the owner of the locomotive commented on my Facebook post that the Chiggen was built to upgraded specs from 1909 compared to the 1908 catalog I had found, that included a higher boiler pressure and over-bored cylinders.
