Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 39, p. 87. See also the Frank-and-Anne correspondence [], last accessed 4 February 2012. Works number was 36775 in August 1911.
Given that the 4 had to traverse 30-lb/yard (15-kg/metre) rail, this little wood-burning Prairie had to be a light stepper in the woods near Atmore, Ala. Atmore lies on the very northestern point of the border between Alabama and Florida.
The W Carney Mill Company sold the 4 after about 12 years of service to locomotive rebuilder/reseller Birmingham Rail & Locomotive. BR & L found Russ Lumber of Arcadia, Fla would buy the engine in August 1924 as thei 102. As the 4/102 was one of Baldwin's standard logging Prairie designs, it wasn't a big surprise when its next owner was Nocatee Crate (of Nocatee, Fla).
