Additional Notes: s/n 641 was apparently ordered as James Curry & Sons Co. (Clear Shade Creek R.R.) #2, Arrow, Pa., in about 5-1901, but was completed as Babcock #5 because Curry sold out to Babcock in 6-1901 before the engine was delivered.
This Shay never went to TN as reported in 1973, sn-599 was the Shay that went to Tellico River Lumber Co.
