Woodward Iron Company No. 38

Woodward Iron Company No. 38 is a preserved 2-8-0 "Consolidation" steam locomotive. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in November 1924 and was based on the Baldwin Class 10-38 E design for the Battson-Hatten Lumber Company in Mississippi where it was assigned the road number of No. 12. 
Primarily, the locomotive was used to haul logs over the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad (G&SIRR) main line from Forrest County Mississippi. The Battson-Hatten Lumber Company eventually closed in May of 1932 and the locomotive was then sold to the Birmingham Rail & Locomotive Co. where it was renumbered to No. 1825.
On October 14, 1935 the locomotive was acquired by the Woodward Iron Co. of Woodward, Alabama where it was again renumbered as No. 38.
Today the locomotive can be seen on static display at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera, Alabama.
