September 2nd, 1861 -- One of the Engines {Baltimore
& Ohio RR Engine No. 208} that was thrown into the river at
Martinsburg, when the Confederate Army was at Harpers Ferry, has been
brought into town {Fredericksburg} today
by 32 horses, to be taken on to Richmond. It was quite a sight to see
as it passed by -- looking very much like an iron monster. *****
