This one looks like an Alco Cuban Mogul. Appears to be on a shortline somewhere. Anyone recognize it?

If you blow up the photo to 400% using IE7 you can read the "Stewartstown Railroad" on the tender.

Nope.

It's Skaneateles Railroad #5, Alco-Schenectady 1915. The enginehouse in the background is a clue.

Stewartstown RR (PA) had a 2-6-0 #5, but it was a tiny Baldwin slide valve engine.

Cooke built five similar 55 1/2 ton moguls for export, two of which did go to Cuba, three of which remained in this country, none of which carried the number "5".

But I seem to recall one is numbered "11"?
