One of two identical Mikado classes that were not built under the United States Railroad Administration. The railroad retained a relatively conservative firebox layout in which 38 sq ft of arch tubes supplemented the basic firebox heating surface. Piston valves measured 15" in diameter.
These were sold the Charleston & Western Carolina (5) and Georgia Railroad (4 as their 331-334) in 1943.
Photo in Drury (1993) shows drum-like sand and steam domes, the headlight positioned under the smokebox, and airpumps fastened to the front of the smokebox. Operated until 1952-1955.
