A gasoline industrial locomotive built by Ernst Wiener Co.

Ernst Wiener Co., New York was a company in the United States that built locomotives. They were known for making special engines used in industries.

What They Built

Ernst Wiener Co., located in New York City, made different types of locomotives. One example was a gasoline-powered locomotive. This engine was designed to pull heavy loads.

Powerful Gasoline Locomotives

This special locomotive could pull ten loaded train cars. It could travel at a speed of 8 to 12 miles per hour (about 13 to 20 km/h). This was a good speed for moving things around industrial sites.

The locomotive had a powerful four-cylinder gasoline engine. This engine was cooled by water, similar to how a car engine stays cool. It used a battery and magnets to create sparks, which helped start the engine. Just like a car, it also had a radiator at the front to keep the engine from getting too hot while it was working hard.
