's Memorial Depot. Two of the railroad's steam locomotives, both of which representing the last steam engines to operate on the railroad before it dieselized in 1962, have been preserved: • Number 110,
2-6-2, built by the
Vulcan Iron Works in 1927 as McRae Lumber & Manufacturing Gulf number 1. Later went to the Beechwood Band Mill in Cordele, Georgia, and was acquired by the Cliffside in 1933. The engine made its final run and was retired from revenue service on July 20, 1962, after which the railroad switched entirely to diesel powered operations and the 110 was placed in reserve until it was sold to the Swamp Rabbit Railroad in Cleveland, South Carolina, a year later. Swamp Rabbit eventually sold the engine to the
Stone Mountain Scenic Railroad, where it was given the name "Yonah II" and operated around
Stone Mountain Park until it encountered running gear issues and was withdrawn in 1982. In 1984, the No. 110 was placed on display outside the Stone Mountain's Memorial Depot. In late 2012, Stone Mountain sold the No. 110 to the
New Hope Valley Railway in Bonsal, NC were it is now undergoing restoration to operation on their 4.5 mile tourist railroad. •
Number 40,
2-8-0, built by the
Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925 for the
Lancaster and Chester Railway. The Cliffside Railroad bought the engine in 1947, and despite having been refurbished for continued use, No. 40 was retired from revenue service on July 20, 1962 along with No. 110 and sold to the
New Hope Railroad, where it continues to operate. ==See also==
