Mastodon 4-8-0 Locomotive

From: bf-bird@sbcglobal.net

You Have been very helpful before when I had some questions and I have another one for you. Are there any pictures of the 4-8-0 Mastodon cab #229 built by Andrew "AJ" Jackson Stevens at the Sacramento Locomotive Works in 1882? I found one picture of a loco (Boston & Maine, cab #2909, dated 1912) built back east from AJ's blueprints but these were coal burners. I did find one web site that said there were no pictures available — Do you think this is right?
