This saddle tank joined two other locomotives of virtually identical dimensions that had been delivered in 1892 (Locobase 11738). Detail differences included a reduction in thickness of the boiler tubes from #13 WG to #12 WG, the use of magnesia sectional lagging on the boiler, Crosby safety valves instead of those manufactured by the works themselves. Baldwin, an increase in the boiler pressure, and a slight difference in weights. The spec continued to require the ability to haul 50 cane cars of 3 tons each.

The 4 was retired in August 1941.
