Ricky Bivins – BNSF 8435 leads an freight train NB at Mortons Gap, Ky on the Henderson Subdivision on July 5.Photo by Tom Steiner – Cowan (TN) Railroad Museum, 1920 Columbia-Type 2-7-2 Steam Locomotive. It was first owned by Mr. William Elliott Dunwady, owner of the Cherokee Brick Company in Macon, GA, about 1920.
It was especially suited for the brick company’s needs and pulled six yard side cars loaded with clay from the clay pits to the foundry.
The engine’s size was limited for two reasons: it did not pull great weights, and it had to be rather small to function on the Cherokee Brick Company line.Photo by Tom Steiner – July 15, Cowan, TN Rail Road Museum.
