#9 was purchased secondhand from Coeur D'Alene Railway and Navigation Company in Idaho, where she served as their #4. #9 was wrecked in a rollover near Cooks in 1896. She was returned to service after the wreck.

#8 was named for Blacklog Creek, which the EBT crosses in Rockhill, or Blacklog Mountain which is just east of Rockhill and Orbisonia.

She was rendered surplus by the three new Mikados 12, 14 and 15 and the Prairie 11, and was sold in 1915. She reportedly ended up serving a line in Cuba, but no further details are available. She is is presumed to have been scrapped in Cuba.
