Locomotive Builder Mount Vernon Ohio

[NW Mailing List]

There was an iron foundry company in Mount Vernon, Ohio that 
made wood fired locomotives starting around 1855.  There's a story that 
one of the railroads that served Mount Vernon had not paid their bill for an 
engine so the company president sent a crew to the depot to chain and 
padlock the engine to the tracks the next time it stopped.  They bill was 
promptly paid.  

I was ask to see if anyone had any information or knowledge of this iron foundry in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
