Smoky Mountain 4-6-2 No 110 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in November, 1911 for the Little River Railroad in Tennessee. She has 47" drivers, 16 x 22 inch cylinders, operates at 180 psi boiler pressure, and can exert up to 18,334 lbs of tractive effort. She is the smallest standard gauge 4-6-2 Pacific ever built and spent her first 29 years hauling logs for the Little River railroad. Her middle driver was blind (no flanges) to facilitate the very sharp curves of the logging railroad. In 1940 she was sold to the Smoky Mountain Railroad, a short railroad that ran from Knoxville, Tennessee to Sevierville, Tennessee, and continued in service into the 1950's. She was later purchased by the modern Little River railroad and in 1975 returned to steam. She is currently in excursion service for the Little River Railroad in Coldwater, Michigan. This image from my collection was taken along the Smoky Mountain's line in Tennessee in 1954.
