I was wondering if anybody has a copy of, or knows of a place on the web where the following document can be found:
A publication by the U.S. Congress, Document No. 51, 1839, contains a
list of locomotives then in the United States, recording thirty-five as
made by Robert Stephenson & Co; twenty-one by Bury; four by
Braithwaite; seven by Tayleur & Co., and a few by other makers.
Tried the LOC website without any luck. Maybe someone here knows how to get such documents. In any case, any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
P.S. If you know of another forum where this question should go, please let me know.
