This locomotive is not at Tweetsie anymore. One of the main shop guys told me many years ago that he had never seen or heard of this engine.

The boiler of the locomotive has been removed and thrown away do to the fact that most of the weight was on the trailing wheel. It is being restored at Tweetsie and will probably done in a few years. When it is done it will be renumbered 15 and will run excursions at Doe River Gorge Christian Camp.

This locomotive was owned by Hillbilly World in Doe River Gorge, TN.  Plans were to restore it for use on the ET&WNC restoration, also they were going to trade it to Gaylord to use for display and keep Rachel.
