The Clinchfield's focus on coal traffic meant that its passenger engines were modest in size and number. This quartet of Ten-wheelers were produced by the builder of the road's lone G-1 (Locobase 9152), but had 12" piston valves and Walschaert radial valve gear. Like the G-1, these were never superheated. For some reason, 103 was scrapped in February 1932 while the other three were dismantled in 1938.
