Side elevation of a Baldwin-made 4-6-0 made in 1860. Note the decorative head light and drive counterweights. What this drawing was intended for isn't clear but the draftsman made a mistake. Look where the main rod meets the side rod. It seems to have been installed inside the main rod, which would prevent a full rotation of the wheel. Apparently no one checked the drawing before it was published.
