When was the Southern Railway 107 sold to help with the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the French Broad River in Sevier County, Tennessee?
Southern Railway 107 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).
Stewart Mountain Dam The Stewart Mountain Dam is a concrete thin arch dam located 41 miles northeast of Phoenix, Arizona. The dam is 1260 ft long, 207 ft high, and was built between 1928-30. The dam includes a 13,000 kilowatt (kW) hydroelectric generating unit that is operated by SRP (Salt River Project), an Arizona public utility. It is primarily operated during the summer months. The dam forms Saguaro Lake as it slows the passage of the Salt River in Maricopa County, Arizona. It was named after a ranch that used to be located nearby known as the Old Stewart Ranch.
