  Originally built in 1922, it was sold to Stone & Webster Co. in 1926. In 1927, it was sold to Birmingham Rail & Locomotive Products in Birmingham, AL, then sold to Shook & Fletcher Supply Co. in Champion, AL. By 1941, it was sold to Standard Coated Products in Hepzibah, GA, then sold to Merry Brothers Brick & Tile Co. in Augusta, GA in 1945. By 1960, it was sold to Charles Weber in Archbold, OH and would be sold to Cedar Point in 1963. Cedar Point rebuilt the engine which was originally built as an 0-4-0T, into a 2-4-0. In 1981, it was given the name "Myron H." in honor of Mike Hetrick, former superintendent of the CP&LE. In 1990, it was rebuilt by Shop Services in Mt. Pleasant, IA and today serves as one of the two main locomotives on the CP&LE along with "Judy K.".
