TnR FIRsr AMERIoAN LoooMorIvE.

The FIRST AMBRIcAN LOCOMOTIVE
The Allentown (Pa Chronicle says: The
first locomotive that ever did service in the
United States is now lying outside of a
foundry at Carbondale, Luzerne county
1t ought to be preserved somewhere as an
interesting relic Of the early days Of rail-
roading The following description of its
trial. taken from DR.. HOLSTERS history of
the Lackawanna valley, will be read with
interest;
The first locomotive engine introduced
and worked in America was run upon the
Delaware aud Hudson railroad, in the
year 1928, and Honesdale (named from the
late Philip Hone) offered its friendly glen
for the purpose of conducting the expert
ment. This locomotive. calied the "Stour-
bridge Lion" was built in England. Of the
best workmanship and material, and most
approved pattern of that date. The road
passed out Of Honesdaie by sharp north
westernly carve with a moderate grade,
and was carried over the Lackawaxen by
long hemlock trcsling, considered too frail
by many to support the great weight of
the mysterious looking engine all ready for
the hazardous journey.
AS the crowd gathered from far and near.
expecting that bridge, locomotive and all.
would plunge into the stream the nom, nj
that passage was attempted, no one darea
TO ran the locomotive across the chasm hut
Majcr Horatio Allen, who amid exultation
and praise, passed over the bridge and
portion of the road in safety The engine,
however. was Abandoned, as the slender
trestliug forming much of the body Of the
road, sufficiently strong for ordinary cars,
was found too feeble for the weight ani
wear" Major Allen, in the account of
this first trip OF IA locomotive on this con-
tinent, says: "As placed my hand on the
throttle. was undecided whether would
move slowly or with fair degree ofspeed !;
but, believing that the road would prove
safe, and prcferring, if we did 60 down. to
60 down handsomely AMI without any ev-
idence of timidity, started with consider
able velocity, passed the curve over the
creek safely, and was soon out of hearing
of the vast assemblage At the end Of
two or three miles, | reversed the valve
and returned without accident, having
thus made the first railroad trip by loco
motive ever made on the western hemis-
phere."
