Notes: Baldwin records identifies an "R. G. Brown" as later owner, SG&N reported that the locomotive was dismantled in 1903. Either the SG&N report is inaccurate or the boiler may have been exchanged with another engine by the D&RG, which resulted in the entry in the Baldwin records. [16] Various photos in [4] show loco in service on SG&N and later SN until it was scrapped in 1923. Locomotive was apparently transferred to SN sometime between 1911 and 1917.
