Loading logs on train Goldsboro Lumber Company North Carolina

​
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.
