The Yonah (locomotive)
''The Yonah'' was a type 4-4-0 steam locomotive that was the subject of the Great Locomotive Chase of the American Civil War.
== Before the Civil War ==
Built in 1848 by Rogers, Ketchum & Grosvenor in Paterson, New Jersey, the ''Yonah'' was the third 4-4-0 locomotive purchased by the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Very little is known about the engine's service life, but it is assumed to have served as a construction train as the railroad was being built from Atlanta, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was believed to have been the first engine to arrive in the latter city.
The engine was likely used for both freight and passenger service for the Western and Atlantic. The Yonah was an example of an early 4-4-0 design, featuring a Haycock firebox design and having its pilot wheels closely spaced with the cylinder placed above at an angle. Thus, the engine was likely relegated to yard service as early as the late 1850s, as the railroad had acquired larger, more powerful locomotives such as the ''General'' and the ''Texas''.
