Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 24, p.223. Works number was 20188 in March 1902.
The G & J operated in the Hoosac River area of eastern New York, connecting Johnsonville in Washington County with Schuylerville, 21.4 miles away across the Hudson River. In 1903, the line absorbed the Battenkill Railway. An additional 10-mile branch linked Greenwich on the main line with the Rutland Railroad junction at Salem.
A 1907 report noted that the G & J was well-placed for Delaware & Hudson purposes: "By using the tracks of the Greenwich & Johnsonville Railway between Greenwich and Schuylerville and the Boston & Maine Railroad tracks between Schuylerville and Mechanicville, it will be possible to move the traffic of the Rutland & Washington Branch of The Delaware & Hudson Company by way of Saratoga, a distance of 30 miles, instead of by way of Castleton and Whitehall, a distance of 68 miles."
After the original #4 was wrecked in 1903, the #3 was renumbered.
(NB: The Baltimore-Annapolis Short Line 4-4-0 specified in Volume 28, p. 195 (works number 27259) was essentially identical except for a slightly smaller grate owing to an inch less width in the firebox.)
