Editor: Regarding Mr. Merrills query in theJuly number of Railway and Locomo-tive Engineering, I would say I verymuch doubt if any photographs of Amos-keag ten-wheelers are in existence. Theselocomotives must have been built prior to1851, as it was about that time the shopsabandoned the building of inside connect-ed engines. As I recall the Chicago, Bur-. More About the : Mr. Cassidy is without doubt this engine was built by McKay and Aldus at East Boston, Mass., the re-semblance to Wm. Masons engine isowing to the fact that the late Mr. B. was in charge of the erecting shopof Mr. Mason. He left Mr. Mason andwent to McKay and Aldus and from FIG. 2. 3S, SOUTHBOUND. lington & Quincy Railroad, it had severalof these engines, the last one I saw beingNo. 62, then in switching service at Cres-ton, Iowa, in 1874. These engines weremuch of the type of eight-wheel design,built at the Amoskeag shops, though witha somewhat longer boiler shell. Thedriving wheels were about 4,2 ft. in out-side diameter, and wide running boardsextended to the front end. The fireboxeswere small, the engines having been builtfor wood burners, but were later con-verted to coal. When this change wasmade the fireboxes were provided withthe Jariett water table and smokestack,which made them quite successful smokeconsumers. S. J
