Southern Railway 630 is a steam locomotive built in 1904 by the American Locomotive Company (Richmond Works) for Southern Railway. It is a 2-8-0 Consolidation of Southern's Ks-1 class.

630 was used on Southern in regular freight service until it was retired in 1952. December of that year, 630 was purchased by the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad and numbered 207. In December 1967,along with the orignal 722, was traded back to the Southern for use in their steam excursion program and restored to their former identities in return for a pair of former Central of Georgia Alco RS3s. The steam locomotives headed main line excursion trains over the entire Southern system until 1983 when both were retired again from the Southern in favor of larger power.

The intricate control mechanisms for the power cylinders on this steam engine are beautiful. Compared to the massive workings, the tiny tubes, pipes, and valves look like they couldn't possibly have any effect. But they were absolutely necessary. Without them, the steam engine simply wouldn't work.

Fascinating motion- small cog is half diameter of the large, so a point on it's circumference moves in a straight line, taking the piston rod with it.
