| Note the link n pin coupler. If the 1899 date on the photograph is correct use of this coupler had just months left before it had to be phased out by law. As the number disc under the headland states, this 0-4-0 was build by the Maine Central RR in 1889 in its own shop, SerNo #7. It was renumbered to #5 in 1900 and was scrapped in March of 1908.
