After having been impressed by the performance of #3, the EBT ordered two more, #4 and #5 of identical design in March 1874. One known exception to the design copy is that #4 appears to have had a straight stack early in it's carier and may have been delivered with one.
#4 was known as the 'junx' engine of the early EBT. In September 1874, after only four days of operations she was the first locomotive to be wrecked, having derailed on spikes placed on the rail by two young boys. June 1 the following year, she was again derailed by vandals and fell down an embankment. She was damaged badly enough to have to be returned to Baldwin for repairs. This may have been when she received her straight stack. June 17 1879 a plug in the firebox blew out scalding the fireman, leading to his death.
#4 was retired in 1894, her disposition not known. She was likely scrapped.
