I may be all wet on this but; last year in an issue of Farm Collector magazines steam engine section a story was featured written and researched by George Hedtke in 1987 of Sample Engine #14666 built by J.I.Case engine wwwworks in 1904 for the Stator copper mine near Folsom New Mexico.This engine was 40X150 horsepower and was one of eight built.The other 7 were called Road Locomotives. This engine was used at first to pull a long wagon train of wagons loaded with bagged copper ore down the dry Cimmaron river to the rail line at Folsom a 55 mile trip.The ore was then shpped some where for smelting and the steamer made its way back to the mine. Interesting story,the Engine wore out rapidly ddue to inferior metal used in its Mfg. and in 1918 it was broke up and junked for the war effort going on at that era. I believe this is a picture of that engine.Note the 1/2 cab and the road light on the lower right side of the engine. These are distinguishing features of 14666.JH
