The locomotive was built in 1912 and used on various passenger services of the Western Maryland over the course of 40 years. In 1938, it received Walschaert valve gear, replacing its original Baker valve gear. In 1947, it was converted to burn oil and stayed east of Cumberland after the conversion. In 1952, it was retired and donated "to the children of Hagerstown", and put on display in the city park. It is one of only two surviving Western Maryland steam locomotives.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
