Cummer Sons Cypress #7

Built in 1911 by the Henery K. Porter Locomotive Company in Pennsylvania for the W.W. Cummer & Sons Lumber Company which was located in Dade City. This locomotive was used to transport logs from the lumber stand to the sawmills throughout Florida and to switch at the mills as well until Greville Bath purchased #7 when it retired in 1960. Afterwards, it was donated to the City of St. Augustine and finally to the Beaches Historical Society in 1981, where it is protected by a glass shed.
