Locomotive #45 is a General Electric 45-Tonner. It has had one of its two engines removed, and in its place is a tie crane. This locomotive is lettered for Samuels Pacific Industries, an earlier Samuels business name.

With only one 150-horsepower engine, #45 is now more a piece of maintenance equipment than a locomotive, and is stored along SE McBrod Avenue near the Milwaukie shops.
