The Old Hero was the first engine used on this road. It weighed only 4 tons and cost $3,000.00. It was brought here in sections through the woods by ox teams from Fabyan Place. It carried a load of 60 persons up the mountain at once and wore itself out in the service. It was built by Sylvester Marsh, projector of the enterprise.
