Delaware & Northern Railroad Steam Locomotive #10 at Margaretville, New York

ID 11,406
From Burr Hubbell

Picture was taken by shop doors at Margaretville, NY. Engine is facing south. According to Best, (p204) Number 10 was built by Lima, Builder's Number 1108, February 1910, 56 inch drivers, 19x26 inch cylinders, 138000 lbs.,

Ex Emporia Mfg. Co. No. 10, acquired BR&L Co., 1-3-30. Scrapped by D&N, no date given.

Best's notes aren't the clearest - not sure whether acquired BR&L refers to date of D&N's acquisition from them, or BR&L's acquisition from Emporia.
