This delightful
inspection locomotive of 1871 was surely a pet of the roundhouse
crew. Most large railroads had one or more such machines for official
inspection tours. Some railroads had steam cars of this same general
type in service as late as the 1930's. The Star was cut up in
1899. William Woodcock (d. 1886) designed the Star at the Elizabethport
shops soon after being named Master Mechanic of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey. (Weissenborn, Plate XXXXVIII)
