Data from "Logging Locomotives", Record of Recent Construction #96 (Baldwin Locomotive Works, 1918), p. 12-13. See also DeGolyer, Vol 62, pp. 331+. (Thanks to Chris Hohl for his January 2014 email stating the tender capacity.) Works numbers were 52261 in August 1919 and 52293 in September.
Among the many logging Prairies built in the late 'teens-early 20s, this pair went to the Florala. Sporting the Rushton cabbage stack that signified a wood-burner in need of spark-arresting, they showed a typical light-engine profile.The tender carried three cords of wood.
Locobase isn't sure what happened to the #101. The #100 would have a long history. After only 4 years serving the Florala, it was sold to the Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company and put in service on the common carrier Escambia Railway. For the next 3 decades, it operated out of Century, Fla. When it was retired, #100 was put in display for the next 20 years. Purchased off the scrap pile by the Whitewater Valley Railway of Connersville, Ind, the engine was restored and ran for two more decades in tourist service.
Brought back home by the Alger-Sullivan Historical Society, the #100 waited for several years for restoration funds to be lined up. One advantage was the previous acquisition of a new boiler and firebox. In 2008, the Society was able to begin actual restoration work.
