In the following pages we present and illustrate a system of STANDARD LOCOMOTIVES, in which, it is believed, will be found designs suited to all the requirements of ordinary service.

These patterns admit of modifications, to suit the preferences of railroad managers, and where machines of peculiar construction for special service are required, we are prepared to make and submit designs, or to build to specifications furnished.

All the locomotives of the system herewith presented are adapted to the consumption of wood, coke, or bituminous or anthracite coal as fuel.

All work is accurately fitted to gauges, which are made from a system of standards kept exclusively for the purpose. Like parts will, therefore, fit accurately in all locomotives of the same class.

This system of manufacture, together with the large number of locomotives at all times in progress, and embracing the principal classes, insures unusual and especial facilities for filling at once, or with the least possible delay, orders for duplicate parts.

Full specifications of locomotives will be furnished on application.
