The KY & TN Ry used this 0-6-0 as a shortline coal hauler up until the early 60's

PS...In the 1960's, the loco was used to pull an amusement park train in near-by Whitley County...(I think the place was called Guntown Mountain...?)
The amusement park closed sometime in the 70's, & old #14 was left to rust away at the mercy of the weather & vandals...
A bout 20 years later, the remains of the loco were acquired by the Big South Fork Scenic Ry. which operates on the trackage of the old K&T...
Thanks to the efforts of a lot of donors & volunteers, #14 is now being restored, & will hopefully one day, see service again pulling excursion trains on the BSF
