The locomotive, built for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, was the first 4-2-0 to contain a leading truck and became the model for steam engines. The premier steam locomotive manufactory of the 1830s-1860, the internationally recognized company produced several innovative designs, including the first locomotive to ascend a hill on its own power, a leading truck, and the first ten-wheel locomotive.
