| Another New Locomotive |
|
The Macon & Western Rail Road machine shop, in this
city, turned out upon their Road, yesterday, a very beautiful new
Locomotive, made wholly within their shops, except that the iron castings
were produced at the Foundry of the Messrs Schofield. This engine has
been named the "Victory" -- weighs about forty-five
thousand pounds, and is designed for the freighting business. In her
entire structure and finish -- even of the ornamental and decorative
parts -- we venture to say she will compare most honorably with any
locomotive engine now running in Georgia. Long may the Victory triumph
over time, space and burden, in the service of the company.

{This appears to be a rebuild of the Griffin,
not an entirely new locomotive.}
