NC&StL No. 1 Tennessee

The Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad #1 "Tennessee" was a 4-4-0 American type steam locomotive that worked for the NC&StL until 1918.
== History ==
According to Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway: History and Steam Locomotives by Richard E. Prince, this locomotive was built by the Rogers Locomotive & Machine Works. It is currently unknown when this locomotive was built, but evidence shows that it was built prior to 1876 and the was 3rd engine named "Tennessee". It was a special locomotive used to handle the Thomas family, Company pay car, and other important events
The locomotive's exact build date and manufacturing serial number is currently unknown, but what is known is that the locomotive was classified as 10-IC, had 14" x 22" inch cylinders, a boiler pressure of 160 psi, 62 1/2" inch driving wheels, a tractive effort of 9,000 lbs., weighed in at 75,100 lbs. (37.55 tons), and was rebuilt in 1886 and 1908.
On April 10, 1918, the locomotive was traded to the Georgia Car & Locomotive Company in exchange for 4-4-0 #50. The engine was later scrapped in 1934.
== Trivia ==
* It's unknown when this engine was built, however, it is noted in Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway: History and Steam Locomotives by Richard E. Prince, several former U.S. Military Railroad locomotives from the US Civil War (from 1861 - 1865) were later rebuilt with an expanded smokebox and a similar appearance to #1. So it's possible that the engine saw service in the Civil War before going to work for the NC&StL.
