History
The engine was built in 1917 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad.[1] After retirement in 1940, the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad ceased operations in 1950 and No. 12 is the only one of the railroad's narrow-gauge engines still in existence. It was sold to the Shenandoah Central in 1952 where it was restored in 1953 and continued to operate in service until its second retirement in 1954.[1] The locomotive was put up for sale again and was later sold to the Tweetsie Railroad theme park in 1957, where it received a full restoration and began pulling excursion trains around the park on July 4, 1957.[1] Today, No. 12 continues to operate at the Tweetsie Railroad along with former White Pass and Yukon Route 2-8-2 No. 190.[1]
The locomotive became listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[2]
