Data from TraitT pratique de la machine locomotive ... By Maurice Demoulin, 1898
Librairie polytechnique, Baudry et Cie, p 404-405. See also "Twelve-wheel Locomotive: St Lawrence & Adirondack Ry," Engineering News, Volume XXXV, No 25 (18 June 1896), pp. 405. Builder info from B.Rumary, 25 Kingscombe, Gurney Slade, Radstock, BA3 4TH, ENGLAND and Jeremy Lambert as supplied by Allen Stanley in March 2004. (Thanks to Chris Hohl for his 27 July 2021 email noting several differences in data in the original entry in Locobase 8884. Locobase realized that this entry needed to be split into two and created this entry to show the original St Lawrence & Adirondack engine.) Works number was 2667 in May 1896.
Purchase of a single Twelve-wheeler by the St Lawrence & Adirondack in May 1896 led to several dozen entering service on the BR&P. Although the StL&A went to the trouble of numbering (15) and naming their acquisition (Manitou), they sold the engine to the BR&P in November of the same year. In July 1897, Brooks built three more to an almost identical design (Locobase 8884).
The original quartet was sold in 1920 with 139 going to the Cumberland & Manchester as their #56.
