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!
