| Tidewater Southern 132
was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1923 and was delivered to
the Sierra Railway at Oakdale California. No. 32 was built for use on the
sharp curves of the Sierra's Angels Camp Branch.
On May 8, 1940 the Sierra sold No. 32 to the Tidewater Southern, which continied using the number 32 until June 16, 1941 when the railroad renumbered the 2-6-2 to 132. TS 132 was used on a number of railfan excursions in the early 1950s and was finally sold for scrap in October of 1955. Above, Sierra 32 reposes in the evening sun, probably in Jamestown, exact date unknown, but not long before its sale to the Tidewater.. |
