Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 29, p. 63. Works number was 28000 in April 1906.
NB:This is one of four different entries for identical light-footed Ten-wheelers bought for short line use in 1904-1906l; one of the orders specified smaller 50" (1,270 mm) drivers. Locobase numbers are 12969, 12870, 12720, and 12820.
Exactly this design of Ten-wheeler served with several other small southern American roads. Note that this locomotive had a nice round builder's number.
The C & L operated a 35.3-mile main line between Cheraw, SC and Crowburk. A meager supply of money meant that the two-county railroad would only ever operate in Chesterfield County because construction funding ran out at Crowburk.
60% of the ownership value would be picked up by the Seaboard Air Line in 1913 and the rest 10 years later. The line would be abandoned in 1941.
