Date: 1881
A larger engine, named the " Hercules," for goods traffic, and made at the Union Foundry, had like arrangements as to cylinders, but was in other respects of the general form of engine now in vogue.  Messrs. Crook and Dean, of Folds Road, supplied a locomotive for other than pas senger traffic, and gave it the name of their foundry, the " Phœnix."  Occasionally I got a glance, in the vicinity of Daubhill, of some of the earlier engines used on the Bolton and Leigh line.
