This is what they have in common.
The Meridian locomotive is #40862 (its plates disappeared before 1975)
Seeing the plate on #7 completely floored me. What are the odds that two locomotives that were side by side on the Baldwin erecting floor in November, 1913, are still around 106 years later, and one is even in steam and active!
Thank you Maine Narrow Gauge Museum and the W. W. & F Ry.
