Data from "Narrow-Gauge Mogul Locomotive", Railroad Gazette, Volume XV [15] (3 August 1883), p. 509. See Locobase 16422 for a description of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St Louis, which ordered thirteen of this class, but could only take delivery of five. Works numbers were 937 in June 1883 and 941 in July.
As explained in Locobase 16422, eight of the wood-burning narrow-gauge Moguls from the Dunkirk, NY builder were either diverted before delivery or quickly sold back and appear under the railroads that bought them from either E B Phillips or Brooks.
These Moguls, originally projected as TC&StL 96-97, were sold by a receiver to the CN in January 1885. The CN itself was a narrow-gauge incorporation by the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington and was consolidated into the TC&StL in 1883. The latter's poor physical and financial condition led to its breakup and the CN was sold in June 1885 to local interests as the Cincinnati, Lebanon & Northern.
Their service on the CL&N lasted only a short time as conversion to standard gauge began in 1886 and was completed in 1894.
