Locobse 11421 notes that the N & St L was a slow-growing railroad that didn't reach the St Lawrence River on the New York border until 1909. This Mogul was originally ordered by the Quakertown & Eastern, but sold to the N&StL before its delivery.
Data from "Locomotive Building," The Railroad Gazette, Volume XLII [42], No 26 (28 June 1907), p 947. See also the National Park Service's history of the Norwood & St Lawrence as part of its Special History Study "NORWOOD AND ST. LAWRENCE RAILROAD NO. 210", at [], last accessed 16 August 2019. Works number was 44443 in October 1907
Data from DeGolyer, Volume 65, p. 224. Works number was 53944 in November 1920.
The N&StL preferred Alco products for its new locomotives, but did buy from Baldwin on occasion. This shortline Mogul arrived on the 21-mile (33.8 km) line (18 main, 3 yards and branches) seventeen years after the last one. The purchase came at the time when St Regis Paper gained a controllling interest in the railroad.Data from DeGolyer, Volume 80, p. 226. Works number was 59608 in October 1926.
Three years after Alco-Cooke's Mogul arrived on the N&StL, Baldwin supplied this engine, which had the same power dimensions. Like the Cooke, the 211 used constant-lead radial valve gear to actuate piston valves. In the 211's case (and likely the 210's), the valves measured a 9 1/2" (241 mm) in diameter.
