were printed with several errors concerning the locomotives of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad and prompted the preparation of
these present remarks on the history of Wilmarth's activities.
Note that on page 359 it is reported that only one
compensating-lever engine was built for the C.V.R.R. in 1854,
and not two such engines in 1852. The _Pioneer_ is incorrectly
identified as a "Shanghai," and as being one of three such
engines built in 1871 by Wilmarth.
[17] The author is indebted to Thomas Norrell for these and many of
the other facts relating to Wilmarth's Union Works.
