Twin sisters to Great Western/Strasburg 90, and nice looking locomotives. Gainesville, Georgia's 209 apparently was owned by the Durham & Southern at one time, but presumably was not one of these? http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... d+s200.jpg http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... d+s201.jpg http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... d+s202.jpg http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?d ... d+s403.jpg |

Hi, I'm rewriting a book about the Gainesville Midland. I am hoping to have it submitted in the next couple of weeks for release in late summer. Here is what I know about GM 209: 209 2-10-0 Baldwin 3-1930 61233 25x28 cylinders 56" drivers SAL #533 Durham & Southern Railway, #203, Durham - Dunn, NC never operated by Durham & Southern or re-lettered I wondered if you were aware of GM209 ex-SAL533 being owned by the Durham & Southern I have a photo of her parked in the dead line in Apex with the other D&S decapods I also have a copy of the final ICC inspection and it states it was being sold to the GM. While she was at the D&S she was never renumbered it is questioned if she ever ran on the D&S. Within months after she was purchased by the D&S the D&S dieselized by buying 3 Baldwin RS1200's. All the decapods were put into storage. The 533 being good shape was the only one sold the other 4 decapods were sold for scrap. Alan Ashworth 1-14-2004 GM #209 [4-29-53] Made last scheduled common carrier steam move in Georgia on 6-10-1959 Gainesville, Georgia for display [1959] Enjoy. Douglas van Veelen |
