It's not a steam locomotive, but Southern E8 passenger diesel no. 6901, built in 1950, is just as beautiful a sight.

Savannah & Atlanta no. 750, a 4-6-2 light Pacific built in 1910 by ALCO, was originally built for Florida East Coast's Miami-Key West line.

This 1924 Heisler geared locomotive was built for a lumber company. It later served Campbell Limestone Company of Beverly, S.C.
