This American Type 4-4-0 was originally built by Baldwin Locomotive Works for the CF&YV. It was sold to the Southern as part of the A&Y and eventually became part of class B. Under Southern ownership it may have started as A&Y #21, but was renumbered #1022 by 1903. In 1903, it was renumbered to #1810 to fit with other acquired B class locomotives. In 1907 to make room for new A-7 switchers, the class was renumbered from #1xxx to #3xxx and this locomotive became #3810 on December 2 of that year.  It was retired and scrapped in Selma, AL in January 1922.

No photo known for this locomotive.

As a Baldwin built locomotive, the CFYV #8 photo I have would not be representative of this locomotive. The photo of Southern 3841 taken in 1934 (Rail Photo Service), may be closer to how a modernized A&Y 21 may have appeared.
