BUILDER PLATE

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Chuck Zeiler	General	From steamlocomotive.com/florida/: Sometime after 1977 the 3749 was acquired by the people who owned Church Street Station. It was displayed there for around 30 years. A number of cosmetic modifications had been made to 3749 (presumably to make 3749 more visually appealing). The two builder plates did not match and neither were from this locomotive. The one on the left side said: "Baldwin, 1913, CN: 39696" (which is from BEDT #10). The one on the right side says: "Baldwin, 1925, CN: 58489" (which is from the Rockton-Rion 2-8-0, No. 203 in Knoxville, TN). The number plate attached to the front of the smokebox had a "1" on it. The "cow-catcher" was bogus. The 3749 was also lettered "Seaboard Airline 223" (the real Seaboard #223 was an M-1 class 4-8-2 which pulled the Orange Blossem Special and other crack passenger trains).	4/16/2013 11:26:40 PM
