History
542 first operated in North Carolina on the Southern Railway in Statesville and Winston-Salem in 1903. It was one of 25 similar locomotives built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1903 for the Southern to haul freight. By July 1953, #542 was rostered in Spencer as a yard goat. She stayed on the job until 1954 when the Southern donated the locomotive to the Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, North Carolina for static display until it was being trade for the ex-Illinois Central 0-8-0 #1894 in 1991. Today, #542 was on static display at the N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina.[2]
