Danville & Western Railway #18 |
| Description: |
Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in May of 1885 with construction number #7603, #18 was originally built for the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad of Rochester, New York, as their second number #89. With the reorganization of the BNY&P in late 1885, the locomotive was transferred over to the Western New York & Philadelphia Railroad as #89 until the newly incorporated railroad could properly stage a system wide renumbering program. Officially commencing in 1891, This new renumbering process caused #89 to now adopt the number #108 as it's official identification. The locomotive served the Western New York & Philadelphia Railroad through the company's reorganization in 1895 until being sold to the Southern Iron & Equipment Company of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1903 after the Pennsylvania Railroad takeover on August 1, 1900. The Southern Iron & Equipment Company assigned the locomotive inventory number #275 and eventually resold the locomotive on August 7, 1903, to the Danville & Western Railway which assigned the engine number #18. The locomotive served the railroad faithfully pulling both freight and passengers on the mainline from Staurt, Virginia, and Stokesland, Virginia, and on the Leaksville Branch from Leaksville Junction, Virginia, to Leaksville, North Carolina until being retired and scrapped in April of 1935. This photograph displays #18 utilizing the company's trackage rights over the Southern Railway in downtown Danville, Virginia, during the Great War. Month and year are correct. Exact date is an estimate. |

Danville & Western Railway #20 |
| Description: |
Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in October of 1905 with construction number #26574, #20 would spend it's entire career hauling freight trains on the Danville & Western Railway between Stokesland, Virginia, and Staurt, Virginia. The locomotive was used alongside sister ten wheeler #21 until the end of steam on the D&W with the purchase of several RS-2s from the American Locomotive Works in the late 1940's. With the absorption into the Southern Railway system at the same time, the D&W was consolidated into the operations of the Carolina & North-Western Railway and labelled the Martinsville Division. Photographs exist of this locomotive in North Carolina working on the C&N-W although I've never seen any. This photograph was probably taken at the Southern Railway's Dundee yards in Northern Danville, Virginia, where the D&W had trackage rights. Date is an estimate. Photographer unknown. |

Danville & Western Railway #21 |
| Description: |
Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in October of 1905 with construction number #26530, #21, like sister #20, spent it's whole life working on the Danville & Western Railway's main line from Stokesland, Virginia, to Staurt, Virginia, for over forty years until the eventual dieselisation of the D&W and absorption into the Southern Railway. After the Southern Railway financed American Locomotive Company RS-2s were introduced on the road in the late 1940's, the remaining few steam locomotives left on the roster were probably transferred over to the Carolina & North-Western Railway which was also a Southern Railway subsidiary. Photographs exist of this locomotive working on the Carolina & North-Western's lines as late as 1951. This photograph was probably taken in the Southern Railway's Dundee Shops in Northern Danville, Virginia. |
