It is interesting that locomotives produced in New Jersey were readied in Kenova, WV for service between Norfolk and Richmond. Also, can anyone explain how the mechanism worked to put an extra 10,000 pounds on the drivers as claimed in the article?

It sounds like the leading two axle truck was capable of unloading the front axle , probably by pivoting the front axle upwards off of the rail ever so slighty...
