| IC Mississippi at Museum of Science and Industry. "The Mississippi was built in the 1830s. Although extensively rebuilt, the Mississippi retains the fundamental features of locomotive design from the 1830s. The exact origin of the Mississippi is unknown. Evidence suggests that Braithwaite and Milner built its components in England in 1834. Dunham and Company of New York City assembled all the imported train components around 1836. Operating from Natchez, Mississippi (a port city on the Mississippi River), the Mississippi locomotive was apparently built for service on a short railroad line." |
