Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, 1888, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 14, 104.
Works numbers were 9129 in March 1888.
The C & S was incorporated in 1882 as a broad-gauge street railway and this steam dummy pulled cars for about 8 years until the system was electrified. The relatively new locomotive was then sold to the 14-mile Cuyler & Woodburn in 1896.
After the C & W entered foreclosure in 1897 and renamed the Savannah & Statesboro, the 3 were converted to standard gauge and served the 33-mile long line.
