LDE – Columbus : ウィキペディア英語版 | LDE – Columbus
Columbus was a tender locomotive operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company (''Leipzig-Dresdner Eisenbahn'' or ''LDE''). == History == The locomotive was sent to the LDE on the recommendation of the Saxon consul in the USA. Similar locomotives had already proven themselves on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. (cf. Tom Thumb) She was built in 1835 by ''Gillingham & Winans'' in Baltimore/USA. In the LDE's company records the locomotive was later described as ''unreliable'' and ''unusable''. Several attempts to give the engine back to the manufacturer failed. In 1842 the locomotive was given to the ''Sächsische Maschinenbau-Compagnie'' in Chemnitz in payment for the ''PEGASUS''. Beyond that, her fate is unknown. She may be identical with the ''TEUTONIA'', which was delivered to the Magdeburg-Leipzig Railway in 1843.〔HELMHOLTZ, STABY, p. 63〕
