Data from DeGolyer, Volume 45, p.152. Works number was 33517 in June 1909.
Although the MD&S did not actually merge with the Seaboard Air Line until 1958, it was such a small line that it bought very few locomotives new. Still, it acquired this little Eight-wheeler from the builder itself.
The design put on very few airs. No superheater, balanced slide valves, inside link motion, narrow firebox. Then again, the MD&S promised only 1% grades and 6-degree curves, so this basic American would serve.
