#6 was the last of the EBT's original order of locomotives, arriving in June 1875. She took over switching duties in Mount Union from road engine #3. She was the first switcher owned by the EBT and the only narrow gauge one to work the Mount Union yard. She was the only switcher in the yard until 1890 when standard gauge second #2 was purchased.
The source of the name "Addie" for this locomotive is unclear. Not all references agree that this name was used by this locomotive.
No photos of #2 have surfaced, but it is of the same design as locomotives later purchased by the Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Southern.
The source of the name "Addie" is unknown, and it is not known if this was a formal name for the locomotive as it was with others of the period, or just a nickname.
In 1900 #6 was sold to a construction contractor, probably along with two dinkies retired from the RI&C tramway. Her final disposition is not known.
