Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 18, p. 76. Works numbers were 9114 in Matrch 1889 and 10223 in September.
Several of the small wood-burning six-wheelers proved sufficient to serve short lines in the Southeast. Considering the the lght rail on lightly ballasted, the specifications included the frequent request for '"extra heavy" springs.
[Locobase cannot locate the firebox heating surface area on three identical engines and consequently cannot estimate the evaporative heating surface area. In all three specs, the firebox dimension appeared with identical length, width, height at the throat tubesheet and at the backhead-- 56 7/16 x 33 3/8 x 41 1/4 and 35 3/4" He chose to add three entries to the database to allow for some future discovery. See Locobase 16548 was the 1886 Pensacola & Perdido #4, Locobase 16549 for the 1889 Aberdeen & West End pair (#1-2) and the first Aberdeen & Rockfish engine (#1) in 1892 at Locobase 16550.]
This North Carolina short line specified a 10" (254 mm) diameter Radley & Hunter spark-arrestingballoon stacik. "Quewhiffle" originally meant a creek and a township in Cumberland (later Hoke) County in the Fayetteville area.
The A&R sold the 1 to the Carthage Railroad in 1900. In 1906, the 1 went further to the Randolph & Cumberland.
