Description

All it says on this old print is MEC #71 in Vermont. The sign says 'Vermont Farm Machine Co...' on the building above the tender. There is no MEC logo on the tender so if this is MEC#71 and the locomotive is on home rails than this scene is likely somewhere on the western end of the Mtn Division. MEC's 4-6-0 #71 was built at Schenectady in January of 1893 with serial number 3997. It was renumbered to MEC 231 in 1900 and scrapped in April of 1915 /DL
