Another Mallet locomotive at Minturn. Anatole Mallet, a Swiss engineer, patented the compound engine which was housed under one locomotive frame having six or more sets of axles. The rear set of driving wheels were fixed in the main frame of the locomotive. The extra pull generated made the locomotive useful in mountainous regions but slower on flat terrain.
