amples in original wash-drawings, detail plans, photographs, 
prints, and lithographs, illustrating the evolution and develop- 
ment of the railway in every land where the locomotive whistle 
has been heard. 
The interesting collection made by the Pennsylvania Railroad 
Company for the Exposition is also in the Museum, and it tells 
in a graphic and instructive manner the story of the progress 
of this great railroad corporation by series of models and origi- 
nals. The Baldwin Locomotive Works contributed the full- 
sized working reproduction of the “Old Ironsides,” the first of 
the Baldwin engines, and the Rogers Locomotive Works the 
full.sized working reproduction of the “Sandusky,” the first 
Rogers engine. The Philadelphia & Reading Company con- 
tributed the “Rocket,” the original No. One on that road; the 
Illinois Central Company the “Mississippi,” the original first 
locomotive in the Gulf States; the Chicago & Northwestern 
Company the “Pioneer,” the original first locomotive west of 
Chicago, and the Mount Washington Railway the original en- 
gine, the “Peppersauce,” the first mountain-climbing locomotive 
in the world. The World’s Exposition, through the Chief of 
the Department of Transportation, presented to the Museum the 
“Samson” and the “Albion,” the original first and second loco- 
motives in Nova Scotia, together with the original first passen- 
ger car in that country and the two orig’nal first cars drawn on 
rails by a locomotive in the world, those from the Merthyr- 
Tydvil tram road in South Wales. 
In each instance the engines — the originals and reproduc- 
tions — stand upon either the original or an exact counterpart of 
the track of their period. 
It :’s suggested that visitors inspect the Halls in the order 
in which they are described, as in this manner evolution and de- 
velopment may be followed chronologically. On each original 
engine, as well as upon each reproduction, will be found cards 
affording much historical information.
