History of the Erie Railroad’s Early Locomotives
Meadville June 80 describes the 1831 charter motion for the New York and Erie Railroad and notes that only four locomotives existed in the U.S. at the time. It recounts South Carolina’s first passenger train, Horatio Allen’s early design, and a Charleston operation run by Julia Metesh with a four-wheel coach. The piece contrasts then with later power, mentioning a 58,000 joule locomotive and a 40 free car haul at a 49 4 mullstone weight, reflecting on how far motive power had advanced.
