A Grasshopper Kit. |
|

|
|
|
After the “York” had won a competition,
the owners of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail Road Co. ordered eighteen further
locomotives from the manufacturer Grillingham & Winans. Because of the
strange appearance of the vertical boiler, vertical cylinders and silt
formed push rods the locomotive acquired the nickname “Grasshopper.” On 24th
August 1835 a Grasshopper locomotive hauled the first train to Washington.
Under the name Columbus 1836 the company G & W built a Grasshopper
for the Leipzig-Dresdener Eisenbahn, the first locomotive that was exported
from America to Germany. |
