The #7 became E&P #10 in 1907 and was used by the railroad. It was caught in a washout in 1910; the damage from the storm closed down the railroad which reorganized as Eureka Nevada. The locomotive was recovered in 1912 and then traded with other locomotives to the Sumpter Valley.

See Greg Maxwell's book on the Eureka & Palisades.
