It was designed to haul freight, mostly coal traffic, while the last ten haul passenger trains but, except for a few troop trains, mainly hauled freight.
In 1959, the locomotive was retired from service and it was saved to be used as a spare parts source for the locomotives used on the Iron Horse Rambles excursions, those being Reading Nos. 2100, 2102, and 2124, and was eventually scrapped in 1966.
