| Additional Notes:
(7-26-1924) 2147 was badly wrecked The designation "Dorothy", was a latter day addition by Little River Railroad Museum honoring Dorothy Fisher, whose generous contributions made possible the establishment of the museum in 1982, when 2147 was moved from Robbinsville, NC Thanksgiving weekend, 1982. Her father, John Fisher, ran the tannery in Walland, and was instrumental in bringing the founders of the Little River Railroad to the Smokies. Jim Thurston |
