The sign reads:
In Memory of . . .
Moses R. White, Jr.
Known affectionately as a "loki," this 5-ton Plymouth Gasoline Locomotive, 36" Guage, was purchased by Moses R. White, Jr., owner and operator of M.R. White Lumber Company, in 1943.
He operated a shingle and sawmill on US Highway 158 and logged in the Great Dismal Swamp, using this type of locomotive to haul juniper, pine and hardwood timber our of the swamp.
At one time, he had as many as 8 miles of track reaching deep into the swamp using locomotive operations from 1933-1975.
