Latest addition to the roster is this GE 44-ton switcher, # 100. The plan is to restore her to her
original NC&StL appearance and to Operating Condition!! The loco has been loaned to the Cowan Railway Museum by Stuart and Michael Hale, and was moved on-site on June 7, 2007. Wednesday, June 13, 2007 | |||
According to Michael Hale, # 100 is the first of four the NC&StL Railway bought new in 1950.
Only two survive today, 100 and 101. The only other surviving NC 44 tonner is # 101 which is
now # 1950 of the Loweville and Beaver River RR.
