The engine "does great credit to her designer, Mr George Forsyth, who, in the engraving, stands under the tender, with his hands in his velveteen jacket--a true specimen of the English mechanic, and also to the indefatigable locomotive superintentent, Mr Richard Eaton, formerly on the London and South Western railway, who stands, like a captain of a ship, on the footplate of the engine. ... The personages round the engine represent the principal employés in Canada--Mr W.C. Stephens, the secretary in Canada; Mr A. Ayres, mechanical draughtsman; Mr G.H. Mingaye, the paymaster; Mr C.J. Brydges, the managing director, standing on the engine; and Mr Thomas Reynolds, the financial director-all in winter costume." -- Illustrated London news, loc. cit.
