Mason Machine Works for Stock - Taunton 0-6-4T

Known Facts: According to Abbott, this engine was built for stock and never assigned to a works number.  It is unknown as to what line this engine was ultimately sold.

Speculation:  In at least one other situation, the Tomales, Mason took a builders photo of an engine that never received a builders number.  In the case of the Tomales, the North Pacific Coast never took delivery.  When the engine was later sold to the Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio RR, it received a builders number and a new builders photo.  It is likely that the same happened with the Taunton.  Hopefully at some point we'll discover what engine the Taunton became.
