These Grants appear only in the diagram book, not the various Locomotive Data books from this same railroad. All we can see is that the engines had a relatively large gap between the 2nd and 3rd driven axles to accommodate the firebox and that the driver diameter bespeaks a mixed-traffic service.
Five years after the EJ & E Ten-wheelers shown in Locobase 7293 came from little-known Grant Locomotive Works, a Paterson, NJ builder, that same small company supplied 5 more with 20 more fire tubes. The diagram notes that they were discarded on 2-20-1916.
