Alabama, Tennessee and Northern Railroad No. 401

Alabama, Tennessee & Northern (AT&N) #401 is a 2-10-0 (decapod type) steam locomotive.
== History ==
The AT&N #401 was built in 1928 by Baldwin Locomotive Works and features a 2-10-0 wheel arrangement. The coal burning locomotive was able to produce approximately 46,000 lbs of tractive force, thanks in part to her 56″ diameter driving wheels. The locomotive was one of three ‘light’ decapods ordered by the AT&N, a shortline railroad in Alabama that had just over 200 miles of track, including lines through Mobile.
The locomotive was put into service leading trains for the AT&N’s ‘Lindbergh’ fast freight service. Like many other businesses, the railroad incorporated Charles Lindbergh’s historic 1927 flight across the ocean into their marketing. The locomotives that led the service received special plates to distinguish them as such. This has led some to refer to the locomotive as ‘The Lindbergh’, though she was never given the nickname officially.
