The first Central of Georgia Consolidations arrived from Baldwin as early as 1887 and were placed in freight service between Birmingham and Columbus. These "C" class locomotives had 50 inch drivers adn soon were keeping company with the "C-1" class (55 inch driving wheels) which were our-shopped by Cooke between 1901 and 1903. Beginning in 1904, Baldwin supplied 38 additional Consolidations. These came with 57 inch drivers and were dubbed class "C-2." They were followed by yet another larger Baldwin batch during 1906 and 1907 which were designated class "C-3." The last Consolidations, class "C-4", also came from Baldwin. Although delivered during the same general time frame (1906-1907) they were some 10,000 pounds heavier than the C-3 class. Numbered 500-524, this class all eventually received superheaters and piston valves. In later years, they were assigned to variou branch line operations as well as to heavy terminal switching duties and lasted until the end of steam.
