Delivering a New Steam Locomotive
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 3, 2016 8:18 AM

So I went back to reply to the original thread from a couple years ago and just got an error message, as if the thread had been lost or deleted. So here we go with a new one.

 

A story from a 1914 Philadelphia newspaper that goes rather in-depth with the process of moving a newly contructed dead locomotive across the continent to the new owner.

Very interesting, Indeed.
