Southern Lumber 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" Locomotives in the USA


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 123 (Locobase 13058)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 30, p. . Works numbers were 30555 in April 1907.

Most of the orders recorded in Baldwin's books were filled for the original purchaser. But the 8 locomotives intended for the Morelia y Tacambaro in Guanajunto, Mexico were redirected to several other railroads.

This engine served SLC in Arkansas all of its working life. When it was retired, the SLC donated the 123 to the City of Warren, Ark
