Today I have posted 3 photos on alt.binaries.pictures.rail of a 4-2-0 Norris
locomotive. The loco displays clearly the name "William Galloway", and the
4 wheel tender is clearly labelled "B&O RR". I believe the photos were taken
in the 1920s or 1930s at an expostion or fair.
The mystery arises because as far as I can tell the B&O did not have a
Norris 4-2-0 named William Galloway, at least before 1840. See roster
1830-1840 below.
In one photo (no 3 of 3) the loco carries additional identification in the
form of a white 13 on a round black target. This could be an exhibit number
in a procession at the exposition, or it could be a raod number. B&O 13 was
a Norris 4-2-0 built 1837 and named "Lafayette", a replica is an exhibit at
the B&O museum.
If indeed the William Galloway was B&O 13 (or replica of 13) why was it
renamed ?
Or maybe Norris delivered more 4-2-0s after 1840?
Any info. gratefully received.
