Replica of 1831 "DeWitt Clinton" Steam Locomotive in Henry Ford Museum, 1941
01
Artifact Overview
Built by the New York Central Railroad for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the DeWitt Clinton replica locomotive and cars were given to The Henry Ford in 1935. The train's unusual passenger cars -- essentially stagecoaches on flanged wheels -- have made it a visitor favorite in the museum's railroad collection.
