Data from CP 1911-24 Locomotive Diagrams supplied in August 2013 by Allen Stanley from his extensive Rail Data Exchange. Works number was 3448 in February 1900.
This single Eight-wheeler was built for a southern Vermont railway that had been chartered as the Bennington & Rutland, but renamed in 1896 after a reorganization. Still, the 1900 order was with the B&R for locomotive #16, although the locomotive was delivered as Rutland 244.
Not long after the 244 came into Rutland hands in 1901, it was sold to the Canadian Pacific.
