Can anyone help?
I've searched many places but found very little about Grant steam locomotive products. Anyone any idea where I may find build cards, drawings, diagrams and/or official photographs?
I'm specifically interested in the EJ&E's 4-6-0's. The 'J' owned 10 of them.
What I know so far:
#67 built 1893 which hauled President Roosevelt's train in 1903. There's a photograph of it at http://eje.railfan.net/ bedecked with flags and bunting etc.;
#65 sold to the PLZ&WRR (which is my real interest). There are a few in-service photographs of very poor quality as their #2; and
#'s 63, 66 and 71 sold to St Paul & Des Moines.
The rest went for scrap.
The technical details I have: 60" drivers; 19" x 26" cylinders; Total light weight 62 tons.
