We areindebted to Mr. James Haynes, E. the Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal,for the now very rare photograph fromwhich our engraving has been made,and for the dimensions given. Thisengine was one of the first locomotivesever built in Canada. An older onebuilt in Toronto in 1853, was illustratedin Railway and Locomotive Engineer-ing for April, 1905, on page 157, and acompetition between the Lady Elginand the Josephine, which took placeat Toronto was refer
