From the Richmond Dispatch, 9/4/1862, p. 1, c. 5

Yankee Engine. – A large and heavy engine – one of those used by McClellan in drawing supplies on the York River Railroad, and left by him – was brought up to Richmond yesterday, and late in the evening, by the aid of thirty mules, had advanced on Cary street as far as Castle Thunder. The Yankees tried to ruin the machine, but did not succeed.
