Good question! I thought about putting B&LE down as well but I think the
boxes are labled DM&IR. Yes, the twins to the Burlington 2-10-4s were the
Bessemer and Lake Erie 2-10-4s which later wound up serving the DM&IR due to
the fact they were both in the US Steel family of railroads. Sorry for
slighting any Bessemer fans! I have hopes that the Bessemer 2-10-4 in
Pennsylvania may yet operate even if it's just back and forth on a track (too
heavy to run many places - like dinky tourist lines ... I hope it maybe winds
up at Steamtown someday).
