Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Vol 12, p.256. Works number was 7786 in January 1886.
Locobase is a little surprised to have found 40 entries in which the stroke of the HP piston is at least double its diameter. This little Eight-wheeler bore several heralds. In 1888, the St J & H became the St J & H River. In 1893, it was reorganized as the St John, Augustine & Indian River and finally the Florida East Coast took over the St J, A & IR in 1995.
Three years later the FEC scrapped this virtually new locomotive.
