[PAR] [TLE] Douglas Dam [SEP] Douglas Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the French Broad River in Sevier County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States.  The dam is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which built the dam in record time in the early 1940s to meet emergency energy demands at the height of World War II.  Douglas Dam is a straight reinforced concrete gravity-type dam 1705 feet (520 m) long and 202 feet (62 m) high, impounding the 28420 acre Douglas Lake.  The dam was named for Douglas Bluff, a cliff overlooking the dam site prior to construction. [PAR] [TLE] Southern Railway 107 [SEP] Southern Railway 107 is a steam locomotive built in November 1887 by Baldwin Locomotive Works for Southern Railway.  It is a 2-8-0 consolidation of Southern's G class.  It first worked on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad as their #419.  In 1894, the ETV&G and the Richmond and Danville Railroad merged to create the Southern Railway and #419 was renumbered to 107.  The locomotive continued service on the Southern until it was sold to the Smoky Mountain Railroad in 1942 to help with the construction of the Douglas Dam.  On December 9th, 1954, the SMRR brought in a GE 44 ton diesel to replace the steam locomotives and #107 along with the other SMRR steamers were left on a siding to rust.  In 1961, #107 was placed on display in Sevierville along with 2-6-0 #206 (Baldwin, 1910) to advertise the Rebel Railroad (later Dollywood).
