Cherokee Brick & Tile 1 was built as a Columbian type (2-4-2) locomotive by H. K. Porter in Pittsburgh, PA, in September 1920 for the Bibb Brick Company in Macon, GA. It weighs 70,000 lbs, 52,000 lbs on its 44” drivers. It has 14” x 20” cylinders and, operating at a boiler pressure of 150 psi, it delivered 11,355 lbs tractive effort. The Bibb Brick Company was started in 1902 with a plant in Macon, GA, and its own railroad with spur tracks to the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads. After suffering adverse financial conditions, the plant and railroad were acquired by the Cherokee Brick & Tile Co., including #1, in the late 1930s. In 1964, #1 was sold to Cole & Marion Walters in Charleston, SC, who at some stage sold it to the amusement park Pirateland in Myrtle Beach, SC, where it ran over a mile and half line through the fair grounds. It was then sold to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, TN, who next sold it to the City of Cowan, TN, in 1979.[1][2] It is on display at the Cowan Railroad Museum next to the historic Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway depot built in 1904.[3][4][5]
