Photo of Boston & Providence Locomotive
Boston & Providence Locomotive "Daniel Nason", Built in 1863

G. S. Griggs, the builder, was motive power superintendent for the B&P. From "A Little Story of the Boston & Providence Railroad Company" by Charles E. Fisher (privately printed booklet, 1917). The B&P was leased by the Old Colony in 1888. The Old Colony, in turn, was leased by the New Haven in 1893. A NERail viewer reminds me that this locomotive is preserved today at the Museum of Transportation in suburban St. Louis.

Unknown photographer 1863.
Added to the photo archive by Dr. Richard Leonard, June 14, 2007.
