This unusual
friction drive locomotive was built to the patented design of
Eugene Fontaine in 1881 by the Grant Locomotive Works for
the Canada Southern Railroad. After an unsuccessful career as
a demonstrator the engine was rebuilt along conventional lines
for the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad. (Recent Locomotives,
