South & Western 2-8-0 "Consolidation" Type Locomotives

Class H-1 (Locobase 9154)

Data from Clinch 1943ca Locomotive Diagrams book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works number 6959 (September 1883).

One of the early locomotives of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio's predecessor. It followed in production 3 slightly smaller engines (see Locobase 9155). Retained by the Clinchfield with the same number, this single Consolidation carried on until scrapped in May 1925.

Class H-2 (Locobase 9155)

Data from Clinch 1943ca Locomotive Diagrams book supplied in May 2005 by Allen Stanley from his extensive collection. Baldwin works number 6959 (September 1883).

An early batch of Consolidations for the Clinch's predecessor. One more delivered later in the year with a lower road number (Locobase 9154) had more tubes. This trio was sold from the S & W to Southern Iron & Equipment in Bristol, Tenn in September 1905 as their 336, 504, & 505. The SI & E reconditioned locomotives and sold them to railroads.

Three years later, they were obtained by the Clinchfield, which scrapped two of them within a decade -- July 1916 (336) and October 1916 (505). 504 continued on until May 1925.
