In 1900 the locomotive was renumbered 58 on paper, but the locomotive itself was never physically renumbered. Sold to W.D. Hofius & Co. (dealer) in 1902. Resold in 1903 to the White Bros.- or White Star Lumber Co., who reduced it to an 0-4-(4-0) [2- truck ] type and converted it to standard gauge (WSL #1).
The train consisted of 23 passenger cars with Robert B. Claytor at the throttle. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] When the train was running at 58 mph (93 km/h) near the Great Dismal Swamp in Suffolk, Virginia, two of the passenger cars struck a faulty switch on the main line derailing them and the other 12 passenger cars with them.

A drawing design of the N&W class J locomotive. In the late 1930s, the Norfolk and Western Railway's (N&W) K2 and K2a 4-8-2 "Mountains" could not handle the rising passenger traffic after the Great Depression abated, so the N&W opted for a more powerful and fancy-looking passenger steam locomotive.
