SOU 4-8-2 #1469 - Southern Rwy
Description:
This 1917 Baldwin built 4-8-2 "Mountain" type steam locomotive was the answer for more power to pull the heavier passenger cars on the Southern Rwy. Specs - Ts class, 69" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 27x28" cylinders, engine weight of 314,800 lb, tractive effort of 50,290 lb. No date, location or photographer given for this photo but since it appears the green apple/gold paint scheme has not been applied to this, the photo was taken before the late 1920's when the Ts class had their repainting done.

SOU 2-8-0 630 - Tennessee Valley Rwy
Description:
Built by Alco-Richmond in 1903 as SOU 630 (serial #28446), it was later sold to East Tennessee & Western North Carolina in December of 1952 as their ETWN 207. It was renumbered back to SOU 630 in 1968 when transferred to the Tennessee Valley Rwy in 1968. It is used for tourist excursions. An unknown photographer took this photo but did not list a date or location. It must be after 1967 when it was renumbered again to SOU #630 for excursions and display.
