Description
Western & Atlanta 4-4-0 American Locomotive "Texas" #12. Built in 1856 by Danforth, Cooke & Company. She participated in the "Great Locomotive Chase" on April 12, 1862 chasing the W&A 4-4-0 "General" after the latter was stolen by Union saboteurs in an attempt to ruin the Confederate rail system during the American Civil War. The "Texas" has been located in the Cyclorama in Atlanta since 1927 but recently was removed and sent to the North Carolina Transportation Museum to be cosmetically restored. She was unveiled at the museum this past Friday, April 28, 2017 and will soon be relocated to the new home of the Cyclorama, the Atlanta History Museum.
