First #2 was ordered new by the EBT in August 1872 from Baldwin to accompany the identical #1, built originally for the Cairo and Saint Louis. #2 served along with sister #1 after their delivery in June 1872 to operate the trains of building materials as the EBT's construction pushed up the mountain from Rockhill. No photos of #2 are known to have survived, but she was generally identical to #1 but had a much shorter life on the EBT. Unlike #1, #2 was delivered with a four axle (two truck) tender, but was soon converted to the same three axle arrangement as #1. Relatively underpowered compared to all later power, #1 and #2 spent most of their lives in passenger or shifter service.
#2 was sold off in 1890 and went to a logging operation in West Virginia. The locomotive served other subsequent roads until 1911, after which nothing more is known about her.(1)
