- Description:
- Savannah and Atlanta 750, formerly Florida East Coast 80, is a 4-6-2 "Light Pacific" type steam locomotive built in January 1910 by the American Locomotive Company. It was sold in 1935 to the Savannah and Atlanta Railway and renumbered to 750. It pulled commuter passenger trains and occasional mixed freight trains for the Savannah and Atlanta, until the railroad dieselized in the early 1950s. In 1962, the locomotive was donated to the Atlanta Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, who began using the locomotive to pull occasional excursion trains. It is now on static display at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, GA.
