Prescott & Eastern 4-6-0 "Ten-Wheeler" Type Locomotives

Data from 1899 Brooks Catalogue. Two points to be made about the P & E. 1) Don't know where it was, and 2) it probably absorbed into some larger system. The engine was a transitional type retaining older features such as a full cow catcher, spark-arresting stack that resembled an Olympic torch, and steam dome just ahead of the cab. The cab was steel with a high roof and transom window in front.
