Seaboard and Roanoke No. 2

Seaboard and Roanoke No. 2 was a steam locomotive that was likely built in the 1880s or 1890s for the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad (S&R). When it was first built, it was built as a 4-4-0 "American" or "Eight-Wheeler" then it would converted into a 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" due to the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement being considered as old and outdated.
==Accident==
On March 27, 1918, Seaboard and Roanoke No. 2 was travelling across the an isolated creek over a trestle bridge, when one of the sections of the bridge collapsed taking the engine with the three cars the locomotive was pulling with it, Seaboard and Roanoke No. 2 was buried in the mud and they didn't have the means to get it out of the mud, so they left it there and then Kerr Lake covered the engine. It is still in the lake as of today, buried 50 feet (15.3 meters) down the lake and allegedly, a bunch of divers had found Seaboard and Roanoke No. 2 as well as one of the three cars in it's consist.
As of today, Seaboard and Roanoke No. 2 is still sleeping with the fishes on the bottom of Kerr Lake and is still in good shape.
