SM #107 and #206 [Misc. RR Photo Archives]
: Knoxville, TN Nov 1970
On route 441 from Knoxville to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 2 locomotives were on display as a billboard for the nearby theme park.
The one shown above is the Smoky Mountain Railroad (SM) Consolidation #107. The locomotive was built in 1887 by Baldwin as East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia #419. She became SOU #107 in 1894, and SM acquired her from SOU in 1942. She was retired in 1954. Since then, she stands at the corner of route 441 and Veterans Blvd. in Pigeon Forge, TN.
The one shown below is SM Mogul #206. The locomotive was built in 1910 by Baldwin as Genesee & Wyoming #9. SM acquired her from Tennessee and North Carolina Railroad in 1938. She was featured in the Lucius Beebe's book "Mixed Train Daily" at its title-page. She was retired in 1954, and is now displayed at Chattanooga, TN.
According to Nov. 1954 Trains magazine, SM pacific #110 built also by Baldwin in 1911 pulled the last steam train into Knoxville.

テネシー州ノックスビルからグレート・スモーキー山脈国立公園に向かう道路の脇に、2両の蒸気機関車が展示されていた。展示とはいえ、派手な色に塗られ遊園地の立体看板の体である。
これらの機関車は、いずれもSmoky Mountain Railroadという小さな鉄道で働いていた機関車である。この鉄道は「Mixed Train Daily」という本で紹介されている。現在、1両はそのまま当地で、もう1両はチャタヌガに移動し展示されている。
