Major Horatio Allen, the engineer Of
the New York aud Erie Railroad, gives
the following account Of the first trip
made by locomotive on this conti-
nent.
"When was Il? Where was It And
who awakened its energies and direct
cd it's movements2 II was in the year
1928, on the banks Of the I4ackawaxen,
at the commencement Of the railroad

and Hudson Canal Co with their coal
mines and he who addresses you was
the only person on that locomntve.
The circumstances which led TO my be-
ing on the road are these
The road had been built in the sum
mer, the structure was of hemlock tim
Der, and rails OF large dimensions, pla-
ced far apart The timber had crack
ed and warped from exposure to the
sun. After about three hundred feet
Of straight line the road crossed Lack
AWAKEN creek on trestle work about 30
feet high, with a curve Of three humid
red and fifty-fve to four hundred feet
radius. The impression was very gen
eral that the iron monster would either
break down the road or it would leave
the track at the curve and plunge into
the creek.
my reply to such apprehensions was
that it was too late to consider the
probability of such occurrences; there
was no other course than to have tri-
al made of the monster which had been
brought here at a great expense; but
that it was not necessary that more
than one should be involved in its fate
that l would take the first ride alone,
and the time would come when should
look back to the incident with great in
terest.
"As / passed my hand on the thottle

l would move slowly or with great de-
gree of speed; but believing that the
road would prove safe, and preferring
that il we did go down, to go hand
