The L series was a mining locomotive series, hence the lifting
ears on the four corners, so they could be lowered down mine shafts.
The loco above is either a model L-25 or a model L-30. They are both 144 inches
long, have 2 speed transmissions, and 4 cylinder 4 cycle engines. The L-25
weighs 5 tons, and the L-30 weighs 6 tons. The outward appearance is identical.
Even the manufacturer used the same photo number in two different catalogs,
labeling one as an L-25 and the other as an L-30. The 25 was produced around
1915, and the 30 from about 1918 to 1920.
Other models included:
L-40 = 190 inches long, 7 tons
L-50 = 175 inches long, 8.5 tons
L-60 = 219 inches long, 12.5 tons
all of these models are significantly different in appearance.
