Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 65, pp. 317+. Works number was 54431 in January 1921.
Seven years after this Alabama sawmill purchased a Ten-wheeler from Baldwin (Locobase 14055), it bought this somewhat larger logging Consolidation from Eddystone. As its dimensions suggest, the 12's main role was straight freight service on the Georgia, Florida & Alabama Railroad. It still had to contend with 58 lb/yard (29 kg/metre) rail and curves as tight as 25 degrees (radii of 231 feet/70.4 metres).
