A more complete history of Elisha McCoy than I had read before.

Fascinating.

For those keeping score at home, Dunderland is an iron mining region in Norway and has nothing to do with Elijah McCoy, the Michigan Central RR or the Dunder-Mifflin Co. I can't tell if the 2-6-2T has McCoy lubricators.

Here's a youtube video from the Hagley Museum.
