Built for passenger service, No. 1293 served an eight-year career until being replaced by diesel locomotives where it was then retired in 1959. Purchased in 1964 by F. Nelson Blount for use at his Steamtown site in Bellows Falls, Vermont, No. 1293 was easily restored to operation for hauling fan trips for the general public. No. 1293 was later sold to the Ohio Central Railroad in 1996 for tourist train service. As of 2026, the locomotive is at the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek, Ohio, Undergoing its 1,472-day inspection and overhaul.
