Clinchfield No. 99

Clinchfield Railroad No. 99 is a Class G-1 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in December 1905 (serial number 27048) originally for the South Western Railroad Company as their #1. She was later sold to the Clinchfield Railroad as #99 in 1908 and was classified as G-1. She has 19" x 26" inch cylinders, 63" inch driving wheels, a 200 psi boiler, a tractive effort of 21,400 bs. and weighed in at 69 tons without tender.
It was used by the Clinchfield to haul both passenger and freight trains until the early 1950's when she was sold to the Black Mountain Railroad Company and became their #3.
She continued service until February 1956 when she was retired from service and later donated to the Casey Jones Museum in Jackson, TN, where she was dolled up as the Illinois Central #382, where it is seen today on static display.
