Located In McDonough, Georgia
Among the historic buildings and exhibits at the community's Heritage Park is No. 7, a 2-4-0 Porter steam locomotive built in 1934. For a time it served West Penn Power as a yard engine. In the late 1990s it operated on the former Laurel Highlands tourist railroad in Scottdale, PA.
It was brought to the park to show visitors a real steam locomotive and to commemorate the many victims of the Camp Creek train wreck, which took place at McDonough in 1900.

The name of the locomotive builder is displayed on the valve chest.
