From the February 1950 issue of Trains Magazine:
The Detroit Free Press reports that the BOYNE CITY RAILROAD's only locomotive had been having boiler trouble until a screen was installed over the pump intake from Lake Charlevoix. The screen successfully keeps out the smelt and minnows which previously had gone right into the locomotive boiler.
Although the locomotive number is not cited, #18 was sold to the Boyne City in 1946 so I presume it was the "only locomotive" mentioned.
