The Jupiter was a wood-burning American locomotive of the 4-4-0 type generating a traction force of 10,790 pounds, and is historically very important because of the role that it played in the first American transcontinental railway line. This train was owned by the Central Pacific Railroad and was built in 1868 by the Schenectady Locomotive Works of New York, along with three other locomotives: Storm, Leviathan and Whirlwind.
The Jupiter weighed 65,400 pounds and had 60 inch driving wheels and cylinders measuring 16 by 24 inches. An exact replica of the Jupiter locomotive is currently on display at the Golden Spike National Park, at Promontory Summit, Utah, famous for being the location where in May 10th 1869, the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined their rails.
