We have used this locomotive constantly since the 16th of August, 1890, and have made the regular run of the road, one and three-quarter miles, in three minutes regularly. On special time trips, the same distance, in two and a quarter minutes, including starting and stopping.
Bicycle Locomotive No. 2.
BICYCLE LOCOMOTIVE No. 3.
This machine is the most perfect yet designed by us for a Bicycle locomotive. Weight, 16 tons, traction, 400 tons. The cylinders are the same size as those of No. 1, 12 × 14 inches. Diameter of drivers five feet. The crank is only 7 inches in length, so that 600 revolutions per minute may readily be obtained. There is no doubt that this locomotive can easily maintain a speed of 100 miles per hour drawing ten Bicycle cars, seating 1,000 passengers and weighing about 125 tons. This is more than the longest train on the standard gauge now accommodates. This machine is under construction, and we have full and complete working drawings of every detail, and every improvement designed equal to the most modern locomotives.
