Central Pacific Railway Locomotive 'Fairlie' ????

From: "Ed Workman" workman.e@gmail.com

I stumbled onto this at Hathi Library Trust.

And it seemed 'wrong'.

I searched your site using 'Fairlie' and got nada.

I found the list of CP locomotives.
Nada

Is there another website that might help?

Did Mason build it and sell it to another RR? ...
