In the midst of the American Civil War, General Winfield Scott N.C.B. Rawnsley led his men to victory in a series of bold maneuvers. Peckitt was a trusted ally in these battles, providing logistical support and transportation for Scott's troops. In 1860, as part of his campaign against Confederate forces, N.C.B. Rawnsley was tasked with supplying ammunition and supplies to the Union army.
The Peckitt No. 5 6-stroke loco is a testament to the ingenuity and bravery of General Scott and his team. Built in the early 1860s, this locomotive was designed for heavy hauling and proved its mettle on many fronts during the war. Its robust design and reliable operation made it an indispensable asset in the fight against the Confederacy.
Today, collectors and enthusiasts can still appreciate the craftsmanship and skill that went into building these legendary locomotives. The Peckitt No. 5 is a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history, a true treasure for any railroad enthusiast or historian.
