Bill Stevens General Great photograph. Could not help but notice what appears to be a Fairmont M-19 section speeder behind the locomotive. 4/2/2007 3:14:43 AM
David Pressley General This photograph was taken in Micaville, NC about 4 miles from Burnsville. The Yancey Railroad had a branch to Bowditch which diverged from the 'mainline' here. 5/24/2011 10:04:43 AM
Donnie Shaffer General I found out some information about this particular locomotive inside an old 1974 issue of Model Railroader. No. 40 was acquired in 1963. The 65-Ton, 420-horsepower diesel unit came from the U.S. Navy. 2/14/2013 8:13:03 AM
Steve Young General Any chance it might still be there Grady? Or anyone? 6/4/2019 1:55:40 AM
