Replica of the Lafayette (see p. 58) as it appeared in the fall of 1955, during the making of a motion picture in northern Georgia. For the picture, which was based on the story of the famous Civil War locomotive General (see p. 84), this “One-Armed Billy” of the 1830’s was disguised as the Yonah, of the Cooper Iron Works Rail Road, and is shown here as it was operating on the Tallulah Falls Railway. (Color plate contributed by Thomas Norrell.)
