WOW You made my day.  This is the Park Ridge, NJ&NY #12 it was in service 
from 1895 until its 1921 scrapping.  According to Wilson Jones in "The 
Pascack Valley Line" (p. A1) it was built by Rogers in March 1895, builder's 
plate # 5038.  It was remarkable for several reasons- it was the last 
locomotive built for the NJ&NY, as well as being the first to carry a clock, 
donated by the residents of Park Ridge.  See my page, njnyrr.homestead.com 
for more information.  Pic possibly in Hillsdale, or Jersey City.
