Locomotives
like the Ariel and New York Elevated 39 shown were called Forney
type locomotives after the 1866 patent of M. N. Forney, a renowned
locomotive expert of the time. Forney types were well adapted
to light passenger service. The New York elevated lines used hundreds
of these little machines before adopting electricity in the early
years of this century. The No. 39 was built by Baldwin in 1878.
