[1] After the United States entered World War I in 1917, The Carpenter-o'Brien Lumber Company was sold to Brooks-Scanlon Corporation.

[1] Brooks-Scanlon closed its Eastport mill in 1929 and moved its headquarters to Foley, Florida, which was named after the company's general manager, J.S.

It was moved to Walpole, New Hampshire and then, across the Connecticut River, to Bellows Falls, Vermont and displayed at Steamtown, U.S.A., where it stayed until the Blount collection was relocated to Scranton, Pennsylvania.

[1] The Steamtown Historical Study, which was last updated in February, 2002, made the following recommendation for Brooks-Scanlon No.1: While a Prairie-type 2-6-2 of a common-carrier railroad might be preferable to represent that type in the Steamtown collection, as this is the only locomotive of the type in the collection, the NPS should restore it "cosmetically" but not mechanically to operable condition, and should exhibit it in a roundhouse.

It should also locate for replication brass flag stanchions, visible in various photographs, now missing from the headlight platform of the locomotive.
