Works number was 4254 in 1894.
Dominion Construction Company bought this American-type Eight-wheeler in 1874 to support its engineering work. Acquired by Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo in 1894 as its very first engine, the 1 went to work on the Hamilton-Welland run and later to the Smith-Dunnviille route.
Maple Leaf Milling bought the 1 to serve its logging operations and ran it until 1927 when it was dumped in a bog.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 20, p. 53. Baldwin works numbers 14515-14517 in October 1895.
Typical Eight-wheeler passenger engines of the era. The class operated for ove 20 years on the TH&B until they were sold in 1917 to the Evansville & Indianapolis as their 3-5. The E&I became the Evansville, Indianapolis & Terre Haute.in June 1920. Apparently the three 4-4-0s were at the end of their useful days as all of them were scrapped in August 1921.
