Loading logs on train Goldsboro Lumber Company North Carolina undated NARA95-GP-1490-Box0330_025_001_AC This was another of Baldwin's small "off-the-shelf" Forney [0-4-4]? locomotive that combined elements of high-volume manufacturing and the custom fitting that came with building steam locomotives of any size. The Baldwin guide says that the little balloon-stacker (fuel was 1 cord of wood with a spark-arresting Radley & Hunter stack) was sold to the Goldsboro Lumber Company of Dover, NC, but the Specifications book does not list that transaction. 

Goldsboro Lumber & Railroad Company was registered in 1908 and owned 36 mi of track between Dover, NC and Richlands, NC. Eventually, they owned 3 locomotives and operated both passenger and freight service as the Dover and South Bound Railroad.
