THESE Works occupy nineteen and three-tenths acres in the heart of Philadelphia and five hundred and ninety-six acres
at Eddystone, on the Delaware River, twelve miles below the city. The offices and principal machine shops are situated in
the rectangle bounded on the north by Spring Garden Street, on the east by Broad Street, on the south by the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Subway and on the west by Nineteenth Street. There are also shops located on the line of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway at Twenty-sixth to Twenty-ninth Streets. The Works dates its origin from the inception of steam
railroads in America.

7.  Modern Locomotive Construction by Meyer, Jacob G. Arnold, d (1892) 670 pages

ASSOCIATE EDITOR OF THE " AMERICAN MACHINIST ;
" MEMBER AMERICAN SOCIETY MECHANICAL ENGINEERS ;
FORMERLY CHIEF DRAFTSMAN AT THE GRANT LOCOMOTIVE WORKS
Fully Illustrated

The principles upon which the methods of construction are based are generally
given, so as to enable any one who designs with the necessary regard to theory to
make modifications to suit his own ideas. In writing the original articles I have aimed
to make each one as complete as possible. This necessarily required a few repetitions,
which were allowed to remain in this book, as it was thought such a course would
make the book more convenient for reference.
