In 1892 the Woodstock Railroad bought the No. 2 "Edward H. Williams," a new 40-ton American Standard 4-4-0 from the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the line's first coal burner. Because the Williams weighed 70 tons when coaled, watered and ready for the road (25% more than the Dewey), it was carefully tested on the famous wooden bridge over Quechee Gulf.
