  • Railroad Exhibit Catalog Final.Pub
    All Aboard: Railroads and New Jersey, 1812–1930 Exhibition Catalog Curator: David J. Fowler Rutgers University Libraries 2011 2 [Case 1] Introduction “Industry, Improvement and Enterprise” announced the cover of an 1882 publication on the industries of New Jersey. Fittingly, a locomotive is a prominent part of the accompanying illustration. Railroads had a pervasive presence and an immense social, economic, cultural, and technological influence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, perhaps even more so than today. Then as now, most people in New Jersey were within earshot, at least, of the sound of a train. Everyone no doubt has a favorite song or movie in which trains play a role, or an early memory, such as that of a kindergartner in a school play reciting his part: “I am a semaphore ….” Railroads likewise engendered a distinctive nomenclature, some of which have entered popular parlance (“derailed,” “off-track,” “build up a head of steam,” “train of thought,” “train wreck”), and also influenced visual imagery. It is significant that one of the first feature films, The Great Train Robbery (1903), was actually shot in New Jersey. 3 4 As Louis P. Cain has pointed out, “No innovation is more emblematic of the drama of nineteenth- century American economic history than the railroad”; its impact was “transformative.” In New Jersey and elsewhere, the ramifications included not only railroads themselves, but also canals, turnpikes, steamboats, ferries, stage lines, and bridges and tunnels. The maneuverings of the Joint Companies in the political sphere caused one state senator in 1864 to excoriate “this gigantic, corrupt, and inexcusable monopoly ….

  • A Long and Dutiful Life – the Story of B&O
    1 The Life of B&O 316 By Edward F. Bommer Baltimore & Ohio Railroad #316 was one member in a unique group of twenty-seven locomotives built during a period of great corporate need in 1865. It was built at a time of nation-wide shortages of manpower and materials as the Civil War ended. Originally designed as heavy, eight-wheel coupled freight engines to work over the grades west of Cumberland MD, this group was the first sizeable class of locomotives built in the United States to employ the concept of a uniform design with interchangeable parts. Three different builders were used to construct them. The 316 was one of them and it gave 80 years of service to the B&O. Thatcher Perkins, the Civil War years B&O Master of Machinery, laid out drawings for this new class of eight-wheel freight locomotives before he left the company in 1865. His designs used the same 43” diameter drivers fitted with wrought iron tires and having a 22” stroke that were also employed on older Winans camels and Company engines. With the departure of Thatcher Perkins from the B&O, John C. Davis was recruited from the Northern Central Railroad in Pennsylvania to take over as Master of Machinery. He quickly put three locomotives of Perkins’ design into production at the Mount Clare shop. In June 1865 number 47 was first engine to roll out. It was followed in July by numbers 83 and 242. While still under construction, the 83 was renumbered 32 after the original 83 that had been taken south was located.
