My grandfater bought on of these engines and cars in about 1960. I remember going with him to the rail yard in St.Pete FL to see the engine in a boxcar. He operated the engine in Cherokee NC and the St. Pete area. I remember looking at a brochure from Crown when I was teen that had the various engines they made and track prices. I spent many hours as the "conductor" on my grandfathers RR.

This locomotive is used mainly to pull trains full of children through the woods in Calera, AL.  It is the only operating steam locomotive in Alabama.  Before being purchased by the Heart of Dixie RR, it was owned by the Birmingham Zoo.

The RR also operates two SW-1 locomotives originally built for the army.
