What Happened to the "Yonah"?

[tdesantis88]

After looking onling in various places, I couldn't find out what happened to the Yonah. I don't believe it's around anymore but all the same, does anyone know? Was it scrapped? Blown up? Derailed? and also when was it built? I couldn't find that either

Thanks

The Yonah was built in 1848 by Rogers, Ketchum, & Grosvenor in Patterson, New Jersey. During the Civil War it was leased to the Cooper Iron Works, and just so happened to be at the Etowah station, about to leave for the Iron Works, at the time that William Fuller arrived and took control of it in pursuit of the raiders. After the Civil War, it is believed to have returned to Atlanta and converted to a stationary boiler in the engine shops. It disappeared from the engine roster after 1873, so it was probably scrapped.
