I have a very old sepia print of a steam locomotive that is pretty faded. I am trying to identify the railroad it is from. Nothing matches it in the rosters found in the New Haven power book. Here is what I can tell from the print.
It is a 2-6-0
It's number is probably 953, but could be 963 or 853/63. The number is on a circular plate centered on the smokebox.
It has link and pin couplers.
It has a 4 axle tender.
It is pulling a 4 axle caboose, all wood with a fairly low profile cupola.
It has a big square head lamp mounted above the smokebox and a tall straight stack.
My guess is that this loco is from a pre1900 Northeastern road. Any thoughts from the experts?
Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas...
