Giles Bay Lumber Company 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class John Elzie Justice (Locobase 14702)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 62, p. 339. Works number was 52085 in July 1919.

Logging Ten-wheeler that duplicated several others supplied by Baldwin over the years. The 1's lumber company was based in Florence, South Carolina. It opened in 1917 and built a large mill in the city.

By 1925, however, the JEJ (as the initials under the cab described it) had been sold to locomotive rebuilder/reseller Southern Iron & Equipment. The SI&E found a ready buyer in the Georgia Northern, which renumbered the engine 103. Sometime later, the locomotive operated under the herald of the Marianna & Blountstown, which renumbered it 101.
