After the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway reached Waterford the name of the railway was changed to Dublin and South Eastern Railway in 1907. They also thought it was best to repaint their engines in a new black livery and later remove their names. No. 36, Formely named Wexford was built by the DSER at the Grand Canal Street Works, Dublin in 1901 as a Goods Train. No.36 was involved with sabatage during the Irish Civil War(1922-1923), the Anti-Treaty side(Those who thought the Treaty offered by the Prime Minister of Britain David Lloyd George wasn't good enough as six counties and three ports remained under British Rule and Ireland would remain part of the British Commonwealth) would sabatage trains and stations to disrupt goods services and the transportation of Pro-Treaty Troops. On the DSER this was common in the South East, On October 1922, the Anti-Treaty removed a section of track at Ballyanne Bank and No.36 was derailed but not severely, Again in November 1922 No.36 was derailed at Sparrowsland but still not badly damadged. Michael Forde, the hero of the DSER and the Merchants of Wexford as he was in charge of making sure that any train that was attacked was but back on track and to reopen the line as soon as possible.
