Data from John H White, Jr, A History of the American Locomotive: Its Development: 1830-1880 (New York: Dover Publications, 1979 - original publication in 1968)
Based on a description published by Paul R Hodge (who may have designed it) in 1840. He claimed that the engine had pulled a 220-ton load at 14 miles up a slope.
