Adams and
Price of Nashville produced this chain drive engine for a saw
mill in Alabama in 1884. It was intended for slow speed operations
on "pole roads," a cheap form of railway constructed
from tree trunks. Note the cup shaped wheels necessary to traverse
such lines. Similar engines were produced in Richmond, Virginia.
The design was after a patent of W. E. Cole. (Recent Locomotives,
Fig. 369)
