Builder info from B.Rumary, 25 Kingscombe, Gurney Slade, Radstock, BA3 4TH, ENGLAND and Jeremy Lambert as supplied by Allen Stanley in March 2004. Works #2953 in April 1898.
Fitted with an "Improved Belpaire" boiler and long, narrow firebox that had 16.5 sq ft of arch pipes. Otherwise virtually identical to Brooks-built Ten-wheeler for Washington County in the same year.
As near as Locobase can determine, this locomotive was ordered by the St Louis, Indianapolis & Eastern, but that railroad was taken over by the I & IS before or very soon after delivery. In any case, the road number stayed the same. Some time later, the same engine was Illinois Central 2296 and retired as such in May 1935.
