WHEN STEAM RAN THE CLINCHFIELD
James A. Goforth
During the steam era, a total of 128 locomotives saw service on the Clinchfield, ranging from the 39-ton 4-4-0 to the 500-ton Challenger. This -pictorial history begins with the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railway Locomotive Roster (nine pages), complete with number, builder, date, etc. Remarks such as “retired” and “scrapped” are noted along with other pertinent information. The final two pages contain a “Locomotive Engineers Seniority List for 1947,” which gives dates employed and promoted.
