The  4-4-0  was  a  small  sized  inside  frame 
locomotive  that  worked  all  over  North  and 
South  America.  They  were  Built  in  the 
1870's and 1880's. The 4-4-0 shared many 
common parts with other similar sized loco-
motives of the same period. The three point 
suspension allowed these engines to go over 
fairly rough track without derailing, and also 
because  of  their  large  drivers  move  along 
at a good speed with a passenger train on 
level  track.  The  classic  4-4-0  or  American 
is  the  lovomotive  that  most  people  think  of 
when  the  old  west  was  young.  Hollywood 
correctly uses these preserved locomotives 
even  today  when  needing  trains  of  that 
period.
