In connection with creating the NGGRLINES list of narrow gauge railroads in North America,
I have discovered data linking many a specific locomotive with a specific railroad or geographical location.
Narrow Gauge Locomotive builder lists usually record information on the purchaser of the locomotive. This often
reflects only the name of the individual purchaser or the corporation. The railroad upon which the locomotive operated
may not be identified. This record is most frequently absent when a locomotive is purchased for use by a logging,
industrial, or construction firm.
Currently, I have completed examination of Lima Shay and Porter locomotive builder lists and now have can place
a specific locomotive on a specific railroad or at a specific location when previously only the purchaser was named.
I plan to include other locomotive builders in this process as my research progresses.
