West Point (locomotive) : ウィキペディア英語版 | West Point (locomotive)
''West Point'' was the third steam locomotive constructed in the United States. It was constructed for the South Carolina Railroad by the West Point Foundry of New York and built to plans from Horatio Allen. The locomotive was built in 1830 and shipped to Charleston, South Carolina, on the ''Lafayette'', arriving there on February 28, 1831, and entering service shortly thereafter. Its frame and running gear were identical to the earlier ''Best Friend of Charleston'' from the same builder, but instead of the ''Best Friends vertical boiler, the ''West Point'' was fitted with a horizontal locomotive boiler. ==References==
