Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 18, p 73. Works number was 12964 in October 1892.
This Mogul was bought by the LR & HS under the influence of excessive optimism, if the actual progress of the logging road that was to exploit large tracts of forest in Madison County in North Carolina. After sitting idle for about a year, the LR & HS sold the engine to a Maine 2-footer dubbed the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington, which gave it #4.
Baldwin repossessed the engine (possibly because the NC road hadn't actually paid for it, and sold it to the Sandy River in February 1898. The SR RR named it "Old Star" and gave it #3. When the SR RR was incorporated into the Sandy River & Rangely Lakes in 1908, the 3 was renumbered 16. In October 1915, the SR & RL added a trailing truck, thus creating a small 2-6-2, and operated the 16 in that arrangement for almost 2 decades. 16 was scrapped in October 1935 at Phillips, Maine.
