Bion J. Arnold purchased two former Manhattan Elevated Railway 0-4-4T Forneys to help dismantle the Elgin & Belvidere. The locomotives were numbered 54 and 64. He bought them from a gravel pit somewhere along the NYC's tracks from Chicago to New York City. Looking for history of these locos--builder, date, builders number, lot, etc. Writing article on E&B--need photos of Forneys. Thanks hankmorris@earthlink.net |

There's a great one at MOT. If you ask nicely, maybe Ron will send you a photo. Dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

Hank: I took it upon myself to repost your question on the New York City Subway Resources website's bulletin board, "Subtalk" (link below). Within an hour I got the below response, along with an admonition to come up with something harder next time. I guess for every obscure question one has, there's someone else out there who has the answer! -Frank Hicks #54 - Built by Rhode Island 9-21-1878 (BN 728) Rebuilt as Class K2 by Pittsburgh 12-28-1893 (BN 1506).
