By the late 1830s fast, elegant engines like the Norris 4-2-0 were available in several standard sizes suitable for the needs of any railroad. The Pegasus was built in 1839 for the Baltimore & Ohio's line between Baltimore and Washington D.C., racing along the first link in what would become the Northeast Corridor. The Pegasus earned its name for Charles Dickens said of a sister Norris engine that if it had spread wings and flew away, no one would have been the least bit surprised.
