Boston & Albany

—1876 —

4-4-0 American type passenger locomotive, #39 was christened the "Marmora" when it was built in 1876 at the Boston & Albany's Srpingfield, Mass. shops. Designed by Master Mechanic Wilson Eddy #39 was one of the hundred "Eddy Clocks" known for their precise running and clock like dependability and is the only surviving example. It features a link-and-pin coupler, an oil headlight and two steam cannons rather than a steam dome. Donated in 1951 by Purdue University.
