Originally, the general railroad practice was that engines were named, not numbered. The named engines were numbered after 1851. The names were either geographical references, or persons of importance. The B&O supplied at least eight Camel engines, including B&O engines 161, 162, and 163, to the Eckhart Branch. Ross Winans of Baltimore supplied engines and rolling stock to the Mt. Savage and Eckhart Railroads. The Georges Creek favored Baldwin products. All of the listed Winans engines are of the 0-8-0 Camel type. They were named after the first unit of this type delivered to the B&O. This class of engine did extremely well in low speed, heavy load operations. Thus, it was ideally suited for Allegany County coal haulers. The Camels gave good service, with a low failure rate. Most, but not all of the engines mentioned transitioned to the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Eckhart was a "second class" engine, with 17" cylinders. The Braddock was a first class engine, with 19" cylinders. Mr. Winans customarily gave a thirty day trial period to the purchasers. The engine Mountaineer was delivered on December 1, 1849, and accepted on Jan. 8, 1850. The engine Cumberland cost $11,000., and was delivered May 28, 1853.
