Locomotives of the Pawnee class were more success- 
ful than the J/linots, and the Reading built about 15 
over the next several years. The Pennsylvania Rail- 
road and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western 
Railroad, both desirous of finding good coal burners, 
had a small number of engines patterned after Mill- 
holland’s Pawnee design. It might be added that 
the Pawnees were not true Mogul or 2-6—0 locomotives 
as is occasionally assumed. The leading wheels were 
attached to the main frame in the same manner as the 
drivers and could not swivel. Since the leading 
wheels were behind the cylinders, the Pawnees, like 
most coupled locomotives without trucks, were front- 
end heavy. 
In January 1854 while Millholland was in the midst

of developing a workable anthracite-burning locomo- 
tive, a great fire destroyed the Reading workshops. 
It was imperative to rebuild the shops quickly so that 
operations might be maintained, and Millholland— 
never satisfied with half measures—immediately set 
to work on an elaborate and imaginative scheme. 
The fire occurred on a Sunday night; by the following 
Tuesday morning Millholland’s draftsman had com- 
pleted the preliminary drawings for a single-story, 
brick building measuring 482% by 229 feet.** Its 
fireproof roof was made of corrugated sheet iron with 
an iron-truss frame supported by cast-iron columns.
