The "Ole Engine 100"A steam locomotive that ran the rails of the Georgia-Ashburn Sylvester-Camilla Railways from 1930 to 1948 until she was replaced with the next generation: the diesel. In 1957, The Little Engine That Could was donated to the Worth County/ Sylvester Chamber of Commerce and the City of Sylvester by GASC railways for a well deserved rest. It now sits in Jeffords Park on highway 82 in Sylvester, Ga.
