The ** Governor Paine" was used for several years on the Vermont Central Railroad, and then rebuilt into a four-coupled machine. During its career, it was stated by the officers of the road that it could be started from a state of rest and run a mile in forty-three seconds. Three engi...nes on the same plan, but with cylinders fourteen by twenty, and six-feet driving-wheels, the ** Mifflin," ** Blair," and "Indiana," were also built for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in 1849.
They weighed each about forty-seven thousand pounds, dis- tributed as follows : eighteen thousand on the drivers, fourteen thousand on the pair of wheels in front of the fire-box, and fifteen thousand on the truck. By applying the lever, the weight on the drivers could be increased to about twenty-four thousand pounds, the weight on the wheels in front of the fire-box being correspondingly reduced.
