Booster Equipped Engines on the N&W

[NW Mailing List]

this doesn't quite answer Abe's question, but it does provide some visual

An added question that I have come up with is there seem to be two types of
boosters, a Bethlehem and a Frankin, and I am not sure if the websites are
confused, or if there were two in use.
