Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 2 (Locobase 13811)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 39, p.39. Works number was 36808 in August 1911.

The Rockingham was organized in 1910 to operate from Roberdel through its namesake city south to Gibson; it was later extended to Bennettsville, 31 miles in all. It was owned by the Cheraw & Darlington and was sold in 1922 to the Atlantic Coast Line as an independent subsidiary and remained in operation until 1968.
