Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works datacard as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 36, p.139. Works number was 36130 in February 1911.
At the same time E P Rentz bought the wood-burning Ten-wheeler for his Ocala Northern Railway (see Locobase 13715), he bought this 4-6-0. It was identical except for the use of 50" drivers (6" shorter) and a lowered boiler pressure. Clearly, this was the "special products" variant that would step carefully down the lightly built timber roads and pull the logs out.
Rentz sold the engine to locomotive rebuilder/reseller Georgia Car & Locomotive, which found a ready buyer in the Florida & Alabama of Baghdad, Fla. Years later, the 12 would be sold to the Shreveport, Houston & Gulf of Manning, Tex and later still would move to the Moscow, Camden & San Augustine of Camden, Tex. By that time, the 5 had acquired a handsome "cabbage stack".
Ultimately, the 5 was sold to the Polk County Museum in 1970 and went on display at Heritage Park.
