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.

The article stated that one engine a week was built and that 10 engines
were already completed for the Erie. Construction had started on 30
others.
