OLD ENGLISH LOCOMOTIVE STILL IN USE

An Old English Single-Driver Locomotive Which Has Been Rebuilt and la Now Used to Draw the Private Car of the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London & Northwestern Railway. 4 It has always been a practice on the London & Northwestern railway (England) for some of the departments to possess locomotives independently of the regular locomotive stock. One of the engines so used at present is the famous old "Cornwall,” a single driver originally built In 1847. For some years It worked In the fast Liverpool and Manchester express service, and was only recently withdrawn from the regular stock of the railway. A few months ago it was rebuilt, and is now used to draw the chief mechanical engineer’s private car. —Popular Mechanics.
