| 1875 | Built by B&O According to Edson, there was only one 16x22-61 locomotive disposed of by the Baltimore & Ohio by 1882, the #271-General Sickles, which was built by Mason in 1863 (126). Not many locomotives with 16" bore were being built as late as 1875, and none by the B&O. So, either the specs are incorrect or it was not built by Mason in 1863, or perhaps B&O refers to the Brockville and Ottawa | Edson,MacKay p110 | |

| 1891-01-12 | No. 6 locomotive of the Canada Atlantic, a heavy freight engine, has arrived back from the shops of the Kingston locomotive works, where it was fitted with a new and massive boiler. | Ottawa Free Press 1891-01-12(No unit entity exists on the site for 'No. 6', so ...) | |
| 1893-04-14≥ | By April 14, 1893, No. 6 engine, with four cars, had run off the track near the C.P.R. crossing on the Monday; as far as could be learned no persons were injured. The engine and No. 30, which had been up the line at the time, had not been able to get back to Ottawa and were stationed near "Doyle's cut", a few miles from Carp, where men were working night and day; the loads of stone carried up to complete the Arnprior bridge were thought too heavy and to be destroying the track, and it was said no more freight would be carried until the ballasting was completed. | Almonte Gazette 1893-04-14(Carp News: "Yesterday (Monday)".

| 1893-07-26 | The old locomotive No. 6, which ran the regular morning train over the Parry Sound road, was sent down the line to Coteau, where it would act as a shunter; in its place the old engine from the Colonization road was put. | Ottawa Free Press 1893-07-26(Transcribed by Colin J.
