| Two first-class passenger
engines were brought to this city last Saturdaynight by the Virginia
Central Railroad, and are now at their shops. They were taken from the
Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire Railway.
One is named after the President of that road, Lewis McKenzie, and the
other Charles P. Manning. They are about twenty-seven ton engines,
fifteen-inch cylinder, twenty-two inch stroke, with five feet drivers,
and were built by William Mason, Taunton, Massachusetts. We learn also
that three engines of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad are now on the
way to Richmond. A number of the Baltimore & Ohio cars have been
in use by the Central Road for some days past; and, if the troubles
continue, we will expect to see very soon the greater part of the
rolling stock on our road composed of this kind of contraband. |
