Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1911 for the Southern Railway, the #4501 was the first of its class on that railroad. The wheel arrangement is a 2-8-2, known as a Mikado, which is Japanese for "Emperor" since the first of this type were sold to Japan. #4501 served the Southern until 1948 when the railroad sold the locomotive to the Kentucky & Tennessee Railway and renumbered it to 12.

The Southern Railway was formed through a combination of smaller lines in 1894. In 1982 it helped create today's Norfolk Southern.
