I tried to help steve , e-paw, with some google searches. I found info on 6 Decaopd Camelbacks delievered to the NYLE&W, Listed as class J1. Later the Erie by Baldwin. First 5 were delievered in Dec 1891. These were numbers 800 to 804. The 6th made much later on for the World Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. It was number 805. It was delievered to the Erie at the ending of the Exposition.
