Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 25, p.242. Works number was 22024 in April 1903.
The Mobile & Ohio controlled this short line but never actually merged it into the rest of the system. Consolidation #1 was the only locomotive that operated on 13.7-mile road in 1915; in the same year, the WS owned 164 freight cars and 1 passenger car.
The engine was gone from the road by 1934.
Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 52, p 309. See Locobase 14033 for a description of the W & S. Works number was 42767 in December 1915.
This small Consolidation was bought by Charles Hebard and Sons, but operated on the W & S's 55-lb/yard (27.5-kg/metre) rail over a relatively undemanding profile that included 12-degree curves on the Y tracks (and less on the main) as well as 1% grades measuring all of 1,000 feet (305 metres).
When the railroad closed in 1927, the 7 was bought by locomotive rebuilder/reseller Southern Iron & Equipment. SI & E sent it along for a short career with Vredenburgh Saw Mill Co as their 15. The Vredenburgh sold the engine in 1929 to Kirby Lumber as their 104
