Thanks, Bill!
I got an answer, Ken forwarded it on to the Early Rails group and here
was the response...
"Dave, thanks for triggering my memory! This engine is NYLE&W 499,
Brookes 1893, named "E. T. Thomas', the famous Erie Engineers Engine.
For the full story, see Frederick Westing, "Erie Power' Stauffer, 1970
Jerry Daub, the old fried egg "
Cheers!
