The 4-4-0 American type passenger locomotive #39 was christened the Marmora when it was built in 1876 at the Boston and Albany's Springfield, Mass. shops. Designed by Master Mechanic Wilson Eddy, #39 was one of the hundred "Eddy Clocks," known for their precise running and clock-like dependability, and is the only surviving example. It features a link-and-pin coupler, an oil headlight, and two steam cannons rather than a steam dome. It was donated in 1951 by Purdue University.
