Note
Notes: Note the break in road numbers which indicates sheets not present; there was also a group built in 1932. According to Taber, almost all of these locomotives were scrapped in 1951 with the last few scrapped in 1952.
The Lackawanna Terminal in Hoboken was the main eastern terminus for the railroad's passenger service and certain freight operations. This equipment was used in Hoboken. It is unknown if the drawings were made in Hoboken or at one of the many other DL&W facilities, although the engineering department was at one time in Hoboken.
The sheets were a routine method for inventory of motive power and other stock.
