A unique survivor
This rear three-quarters view of Greenfield Village Locomotive No.3 departing from Firestone Stations shows the unusual 0-6-4 arrangement of the Mason Bogie type. Mason Locomotive Works of Taunton MA gained a licence to produce Single Fairlie patent locomotives: these featured an articulated design of a power bogie beneath the single boiler, with an unpowered bogie under the cab and tender. The design found favour with mining and logging railroads, with their preponderance of sharp curves. Mason built 146 bogie locomotives, but No.3 is now the sole survivor.
