This Consolidation prior to 1903 was #297 but was renumbered subsequently to 310 according to Richard E. Prince's Southern Railway book.  It did not change its number when leased by the A&Y. It was removed from lease on October 14, 1937 because it was due at Spencer for heavy repairs required before January, 1938. It was sent to Spencer Oct 1937, but not restencilled Southern due to its age and was scrapped at Spencer, NC in March, 1939. Replaced by 472 in the A&Y lease agreement with the Southern.
