Abstract
"A correspondent, writing of Visalia in the 1890's, speaks as follows of the engine that hauled passengers from Visalia to Goshen: 'The engine doing service on the Visalia railroad is one of the most novel arrangements we recollect to have seen in railroading. It has engine, tender and car all aggregated together, will carry 10 or 15 passengers and baggage, and can doubtless be run at half the cost of an ordinary stage coach. We place no high estimate on its speed, but the engineer tells us that it has the power to move any train likely to be loaded at any point in the valley.'"
