This steam locomotive was presented
to the City of Winder and Barrow County in 1959 by the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad Company. It was placed here as a permanent
exhibit in memory of the important service engines of this type
rendered to the country. Built in 1930, it operated for a number
of years on the Gainesville Midland Railroad. At the time of
its retirement in 1959, No. 208 was one of the last steam locomotives
in service in this section of the country
