Class 3 (Locobase 12977)

Data from DeGolyer, Volume 29, p. 96. Works number was 28398 in June 1906.

Ordered at the same time as the bigger Mogul shown in Locobase 12976, this little six-wheel wood-burner was required to take 119 tons up a 1% grade and 448 tons on the level.

Charleston Lumber sold out to Westmoreland Lumber in 1909. Bassett Lumber bought the 3 in 1914 and renumbered it 2. Bassett discarded it in a sale in January 1918 to locomotive rebuilder/reseller Southern Iron & Equipment. SI & E didn't have to look too far or too long to find a buyer in Colleton Mercantile in June 1918. Colleton operated the little engine until 1926, when Lemacks Cannon Lumber bought the engine.

Lemacks apparently sold the engine in 1928 to Mr Hittup Maddox, who put the engine in storage until the 1960s, when a group restored the locomotive and put it on display at the Maddox Foundry in Archer, Florida in its original CLC colors.

Class Stella (Locobase 12057)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 18, p 133. Works number was 13066 in November 1892.

Note the small size and, for the US, unusual wheel arrangement featuring a single-axle truck ahead of two coupled axles.
