Re: Tall Tale Or True

As James mentioned in another post, a lot of the Mason info online is incorrect (outdated). I noticed this evening in fact that the list of Bogies we have on PacificNG is incorrect for these two locomotives. Don Ball is correct on his blog, the drawing he shows is in fact the Mason drawing for the "Amador". Don is very knowledgeable on the Stockton & Ione and is currently working on an article about the line for PacificNG.

The locomotive histories are reversed on that roster over on CPRR.ORG and the Cylinders/Drivers for "Stockton" should be 10x16, 42" dia drivers (as Phillip described).

The Amador had 12x16 cylinders per the note on the drawing.
