BRB&L Locomotives
There seems to be some confusion in the list of BRB&L locomotives in this otherwise well-researched and well-documented article. There is no record of Engine No. 3 - Jupiter ever being used on the Boston, Winthrop & Point Shirley Railroad. I believe it was used exclusively on the BRB&L's mainline. Two BRB&L-owned engines did run on the Boston, Winthrop & Point Shirley: The Mercury, which was leased to the BW&PS in 1877 when that line initiated service (not in 1878, as shown in the table of equipment), and the Pegasus, leased to the BW&PS in 1883. The BW&PS also purchased its own locomotive, No. 1 - Winthrop, an 0-4-2ST, in 1882. All three locomotives passed into the hands of the Boston, Winthrop & Shore when that railroad was established in December 1883 and then went back to the BRB&L when the latter leased the BW&S in 1886. The Jupiter, however, never appears in any records of the little Winthrop lines nor are there any photos of it on those lines. See The Train on the Beach (ISBN 978-1-63492-183-1) Chapter 5 for more details on the Winthrop lines' rolling stock.
