Candidate for the best locomotive name ever. This freight engine was built by Baldwin in 1865 for the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad. Note the auxiliary roof over the coal section of the tender, probably provided for the fireman's protection.
PS, "Wapwallopen" is actually a town in Pennsylvania, and is a native word for "place where the wild hemp grows".
