"Allegheny" and "DeWitt Clinton" Locomotives in Greenfield Village, July 1956

01

Artifact Overview

More than a century of steam locomotive development separated the 1831 DeWitt Clinton (represented by the 1893 replica at right) from the 1941 Allegheny. But each locomotive was built in the same basic pattern: a horizontal boiler mounted atop driving wheels, with those driving wheels connected directly to the cylinders.
