Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 45, p. 48. Works number was 40950 in November 1913.
This big Alabama sawmill in Vredenburgh appears several times in the journals of the day, often as the victim of yet another catastrophic fire. For example, Wood Craft magazine reported in November 1908 that the dry-kilns at its Pine Hill facility, which had been destroyed by fire, had been rebuilt with brick. Years later in February 1920, the namesake mill burned to the ground and was totally destroyed. Vredenburgh quickly rebuilt its mill and by the end of December 1921 was boasting of its enduring success in minimizing lost time due to machinery breakdowns.
This typical logging Ten-wheeler operated on the Vredenburgh rails for about 14 years before being sold to locomotive rebuilder/reseller Southern Iron & Equipment. SI & E in turn sold the engine in July 1928 to Tilghman Lumber. The Carolina Western took over the 5 later.
