Mr. ICen von was 7car , , old when on
AuguM 8,182JI , Ilorntio Allen , at Ifonul-
villu , Pa. , ran Iho lir.-t locomotive thafc ,
over turned a driving wheel on a niihoUt >
traek in Amoriea. He also remembers
distinctly Ihe tiisl Irinl trip of a locoinn-
Jive on tlio Iloslon iV ; Worcester niihoad
in Marclu IKM , and tlio tornial celebra
tion ot the opening of the roml toVor -
ocster aear , Inter. A ( Ilint linicllio
Height house of llm company in llostoii
could accommodate lint two ears. Three
trains in Mimnier and two in winter
( Sundavs oxeeplcd ) made the run be
tween Huston and WorecMer distance
of 41 miles nt nnuivertigo ol lo miles an
Iiour. At Worcester the ringing of a bell
suspended fiom n Ireo alongside tlio
traek wan Iho .signal for tv train lo .starl.
lleforo the introduction ot liell lopus ,
which was not until several jcars later ,
when the conductor wanted to.slop the
train to recover a lost hat or pick up a
belated passenger , llio only means of
communicating this fact to tlio engineer
wa ? by nies.se.ngor , unlesM the wind hap
pened lo be tavorablo to carrying llio
.sound of a man's \oiec to the engine. In
these day.s conduetors or "captalnn , " as
they weio sometime * ) called considered J
passengers their guests , and frequently
inconvenienced Uiutusolvein this and
other ways lo accommodate them on
their journey.
Although Air. ICon.um wa not con
nected witli the j'oa'd at .that time , the
foregoing facts are mentioned as an in
stance ot the remarkable progress jii Ims
observed in r.iihoids from Iho time ot'
their inception in this country down to
the present , day. Tlio precise year in
which ho commenced his railroad career
ho is unable to recall. After holding
various minor positions in the shop and
upon the road , he was ma do an engineer
on the Norwich & Worcester railroad in
the early part of 1S 5 , when ho AVUS given
charge of an- engine named Iho Uncas.
She. like her sisters , the Concord , Wor
cester , Norwich , Nashua , John Hancock ,
and Daniel Webster , was built especially
for passenger service , lu IhoMj days
these engines were considered the finest
of their class in the Nor , ' England Stales.
Yeb they had neither cabs , whistles ,
pilots , headlights , -nor the various other
improvements so essential to the loco
motive of the present day. The water
capacity ot thejr tanks was about ItilO
gallons ; their fiio boxes held about as
muck fuel as an ordinary washtub. The
tank was of ten supplied with water taken
from a. neighboring creek in buckets.
Some of the engineers Daniel Kenyon
among them carried n buck and hand
.saw over the road and , when occasion
demanded it , they .sawed their own wood.
Upright boards in which two bull's eyes
wuro fitted allbrded the engineer and
fireman a view ahead aiuLprotccted their
ficesj : from the chilling blasts of winter ,
but in the summer these were removed ,
leaving them exposed to thosmi and rain.
A llnIT car covered with sand , on the top
of _ which pitch pine knots were piled and
lighted , coupled on ahead of the engine ,
served the purposes of a headlight. To
incrc.vso the adhesive power of the
engines ( thny had single drivers ) the fire
man was frequently obliged to got oT (
and sprinkle the rails with sand. "In the
obsence of whistles a call for brakes and
other signals from the engine w-aa made
by raising the scales and allowing the
steam to esc.apo from the dome :
After running on this road a tnvr
months Mr. Konjon _ resigned tojtOcopt a
position as machinist in tlio locomotive
shops of the late Koss Winaus at. Mount
Clair , Ualtimorc. Hero he remained but
a few weeks when failing health , caused
by too close conlinomcnt , compelled him
to vcKijrii bin situation and-rctura tu rnil- <
roading. Preparatory toacccipting it po
sition as engineer ou the IitUmoro ) ) &
Ohio railroad in the early parLpf f81G he
lircd for about six-months for -flip pur-
nose ot becoming familiar witlifthii road.
In llio latter part of thatyearMr , Winans-
finished u litiid coal burning engine for
the Boston tt Main rallrond lo.bauf.cd in
hanling heavy troi iit tr.ilas/ Some
time alter her arrival at lioxton , tlfo com-
panjnotilied the builder that-tlio engine
failod.U ) mee.t tlm'rcqnirunianbt'iti not
being able to make steam witumrdcoal. }
They therefore considered her t > Mjcticil-
y useless and hail her set aside' * Satis
fied that with piopcr management she
would do all that ho claimed for her , Mr.
AVinans requested that the Kaltimore &
OhXf company to spare Mr. Kenyan fern
n few days for ? ho'piirpo.-u > of giving tbo
locomotive a trial. * Leavebeinggyanted ,
Mr.'ICon > on , accompanied by a. liroman

ing their soiMirn tliero their e.xpensos at.
the old NatKunl hotel , H'lymafkct-
qtnire , were dofrod . by Air. Nv'lnans.
The scries of trial trips lasted ton daya.
They were nude at Lowell , Muss. , in thu
spring of 1817. On this occasion Mr.
lumyon ran tlio lirst hard coal burning
locomotive that ever turned n driving
wheel out of that city This ( Migino ,
which wi s a camel-hack , had neither
name nor number , but on account of her
remarkable strength was known t\y \ the
Tom Hyer. In Ihe hands of Engineer
Konyon and Fireman ( . 'oleman she made
without apparent oltbrl a Milllc.h'iit ( | iian-
tity of steam to cover the several , trips
suecnssfully. Pitted against her vjaa a
Hinokloy wood burner named the Now
Hampshire. Wood Agent Henry IJobbs
afterward superintendent of tlio New
York , Lake Erie Western's eastern
division , and now a icsident of J'alerton ,

Vinaun , i very substantial present in
closed ih an autograph letter of a com
mendatory character IH recognition of
his .services. Tills letter , among Oilier
highly prized documents , is still in his
possession.
In 1818 Maslcr McchaniuThalclicr IVr-
kins transferred Mr. Kenyon to engine
No. 78 , and assigned him lo a run be
tween Haltlmoru and Cumberland. Tliii ;
engine , which oven then had seen consul *
orablo. service , was still la excellent con
dition , notwithstanding Hit- fact that stin
was tlio first "camelback" over built in
this country. After remaining on this
i onto until the latter part of 181 ! ) , Mr.
Kenyon , together with fijs engine , wa i
transferred to that portion of Ihe Hue
Ilien bolng constructed' lu\veoii ! ! Cumber
land and Oakland. Utum its completion
in IIT 1 , ho , as Iho plorti'0rt engineer , was
selected by Trainua : < tl'r Joseph llrown
lo break in trains oil Ihc Allcghauy
mountains. To lilin , also.'crodlt ' is due
for Iwing the first engineer lhatevercon-
ducted a train from Oakland lo ( 'umber-
land down these moumaiifs1 The train ,
consisting of eighteen Ci : 11 si , laden with
catlle , was in charge pi bill t\Vo brake-
men. Its control , therefore , devolved in
a great measure upon Uie ceaseless vigi
lance and good jtidgmViiV exercised by
'
the engineer. Uloeks lf wood , some'-
times covered with U > nlic\lmt { | frequent
ly not provided with lihiiig , and securely
attached to the brake beams ser\ed tin
purpose of shoes. As these were fro-
( luenlly ignited l > y friction they were a
source ot annoyance to trainmen. To
obviate this dilnculty aa far as possible ,
Mr. Knnyon , before starling the train ,
directed the brakomcn-to bo guided as to
the proper application of tlio brakes by
thu motiuu.H of his hand from the engine.
liaising his hand ouco uas the signal to
lot otl'ono brakonnd no more ; lowering
the hand once wan to set up one brake.
So thoroughly were those directions un
derstood by the men thatuponthotraiu'rt
arrival at. its destination showed tlio cars
to be in almost as good order as when
they { .tailed. Not once in tho. descent
waa it necessary to blow the whistle.
Hesigulng Ins position in 1832 , Mr.
Kenyon wont to Piermonl , N. X at that
time and forwivoral years afterward tlio
eastern terminus of Iho New York &
Erie railroad. Applying lo Master Me
chanic Jacob llrmidr for a position , ho
for the lirst time * reali/.ed that his name
and tame as an engineer had extended
beyond thu limits of the road on. which
lie had so long been employed.
"A position ? Yes. sir , " said Mr.
Brandt. "I could give ready employ
ment to a dozen BUCII men : us you aro.
Take the No. Ill on the Otisvillo milk to
morrow. "
Attiiat time tlio track , was about as
smooth : is the faoo of a currycomb. For
a train to make schedule time under such
circumstances was not always an easy
maltor. Leaving Otisvillo several miii-
utcs late one. night , Mr. Kenyon deter
mined to put the train into Picrmont _ on
time , if possible , so as to avoid detention
lo tlio steamboat Erie , which brought
milk to Now York. The attempt WHS
Successful. Ho came in on time. The
no.\t day word reached Piormout that
upon its arrival in the city almost tlio
cntiro cargo lyas found to be worthless.
The explanation of the phenomenon that
it wlft entirely duo-to the churning pro
cess-it received on the raihoad was very
generally accented as true. When ,
tiieteforo , ono ot the boys in the round
house , in referring to the circumstance ,
facetiously applied to the nnmo of Daniel
Kenyon tlio sobriquet of "Huttprmilk , "
jt sounded so strikingly appropriate that
its adoption soon became universal. In
deed , some of the commuters and fiot a
few employes of Iho road have become
so accustomed to the 'dxproiision to
forget his Christian * name. Iir connec
tion with this incident it mry : not b'o in
appropriate to note that the engine then
used in thu steamboat Efio is still in an
excellent state of preservation and use

they were subsequently transferred to
the Eastern division. These engines all

railroad of New Jersey , remaining with
that company eleven years. , In 1801 ,
while-oil a Hying trip to Philadelphia , ho

wan attached the lirat Sollers'injuctor in

considered impossible to keep a live coal
