Description:
Along the ET&WNC, Volume II: The Ten Wheelers: Over 100 photos, maps & drawings Softcover, 132pp. "In ET&WNC parlance, the term 'Ten Wheelers'" is most often applied to engines 10, 11, 12, & 14, primarily because they were built to the same Baldwin Locomotive Works erector drawings. Though Numbers 8 and 9 were technically 'Ten Wheelers,' or rather , of the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, they were smaller than what the old-timers referred to as 'the big engines.' "Numbers 10 through 14 were unique in their design, and were possessed by no other railroad in the world. The entire class of locomotives survived as late as 1943, and were the engines most responsible for giving the railroad its enduring character and appeal. To this day, Number 12 still survives and proudly serves her enduring legacy at the famed Tweetsie Railroad, North Carolina's oldest theme park and one of America's greatest treasures."
