NOTES:

 

Was formerly York Southern RR No. 1

Engine No. 1 was built with Stephenson valve gear.

An electric headlight installed in October of 1918.

The electric generator installed was probably a Loco Light Model "C" generator as installed on the other engines, but this has not been confirmed.

Headlight from Engine No. 1 was transferred to Engine No. 4 in August of 1920.

Various company sources sometimes give conflicting dates for installation of improvements. Best judgement has been used when conflicts exist.

Data has been gathered from various sources, including Annual Reports, AFEs, the M&PA's Shop Book and photographs.
