Trains pile up at Kingston

Traffic jam, 1862 style. Trains pile up at Kingston, due to special trains evacuating rolling stock from Chattanooga---- in foreground, Captain Fuller and his men arrive in the little Yonah, to learn that Andrews had left only moments before.

It is not the Yonah. The Yonah was a 4-4-0 and this little locomotive is a 4-2-0. Possibly it is the Etowah. The Etowa pursued the General to Kingston.

Whoever it is, it is a cute little rascal and I need a running model of it for my H.O. railroad.

Barry,
Thanks for posting the picture. I have a friend that commercially builds HO scale brass Civil War locomotives. He is currently working on the Yonah and the Florida, of the Western and Atlantic RR. The Florida was very similar to the 4-2-0 you posted and was condemned in 1858. I'll mail him the picture and see what he says. (He has no email so it will be awhile)
