As evidenced on this locomotive, wheel counter weights were not part of the early locomotives manufactured. Retro-fit kits of cast weights that could be bolted between the spokes were later made available by Stearns.
SI&E was a dealer and rebuilder of railroad equipment. The locomotive was purchased from Climax Saw Mill Co. of Climax, Alabama.
