Locomotive 2

 

A destroyed locomotive captured at Richmond's fall. Many locomotives this badly burned up were repaired by the Confederate railroads, though with great difficulty in finding the required replacement parts. The fire has removed the woodwork and shows the wheels, frame and steam generation system. To the left is the firebox; on the right is the smoke chamber and stack; between is the horizontal boiler.
