Southern Railway No. 107 is a 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in November 1887 for the Southern Railway. It is one of the oldest Southern Railway steam locomotives surviving in preservation.

In 1961, it was sold to the Silver Dollar City Tennessee amusement park, later known as Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and placed on outdoor static display at the park's main entrance and information center. It was the only standard gauge steam locomotive owned by Dollywood until January 2025 when it was recently sold off to the Knoxville and Holston River Railroad in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Once the locomotive gets shipped over to its new home, it will be evaluated for a possible restoration to operating condition to operate excursion runs on the Three Rivers Rambler excursion trains alongside their two other operable steam locomotives, those being Washington & Lincolnton 2-8-0 No. 203, nicknamed Lindy, and Southern Railway 2-8-0 No. 154.
