A twin of RVRR #6. This is the way #6 would have appeared before it was converted from a 2-4-2T to a 0-4-4T. #6 was constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (C/N #9827) for Suburban Rapid Transit, an elevated New York City railway, as their #13. The locomotive was subsequently was sold the Manhattan Railway on April 1, 1891 and became their #348.   The Silver Lake Railroad of Perry, NY purchased the locomotive in October, 1899 and then sold it to the Southern Iron & Equipment Company (#544) of Atlanta, Georgia.   The Rahway Valley Railroad purchased the locomotive from SI&E on December 4, 1906. The small forney stuck around the RVRR for just shy of six years, being sold to General Equipment Company in May, 1912.   General Equipment Company subsequently sold the locomotive to the Philadelphia, Bethlehem, & New England Railroad and became their #23.   Sources: Roster Information provided by Allen Stanley of Railroad Data Exchange, courtesy of Michael Kaplonski.
