In 1836 Henry R. Campbell of Philadelphia devised a powerful
and wonderfully flexible locomotive by adding an extra pair of driving wheels
to Jervis's truck engine, examples of which have been shown in the three
previous illustrations, The first Campbell eight wheeler was completed in 1837
for the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad, now a part of the
Reading.
