This engine was originally built for the Peach Bottom Railroad in Pennsylvania. While the Abbot list indicates that it later became #3 on the Ma & Pa, Hilton's Ma & Pa book disagrees indicating she was retired 1878, but her ultimate fate is not recorded. Hilton states, "The Middle Division's No 3 was a hard riding Mason Bogie which saw only two years of service ... No 3, a standard Mason Bogie, was hard on track and derailed frequently. It was retired on the arrival of Number 4 in 1878."
