Here are a few interesting points about this particular locomotive which we have just been describing.

It is a single engine on six wheels--which are well distributed, with a large boiler of abundant steam generating power with cylinders of great capacity, and driving wheels of moderate diameter.

It is accompanied by a tender on six wheels, capable of holding a supply of 2,520 gallons of water, and 40 cwt. of coal.

Notwithstanding its great capacity, this tender is so low that a tall man may stand on top of the coal without fear of being knocked down by bridges.

There are over 47 tons of metal in the locomotive and tender.
