This is a cotton compress powered by steam(originally), but now run off of compressed air. It has a 90 inch piston in it and was used to compress cotton into bales for easier rail transportation. this side shows the tanks for the compressed air and the portable compressor is parked behind them. The jiffy johnies are not required unless there is an accident.
I went into some random building looking for a bathroom and there happened to be an old locomotive on display in there! Go figure.
In any case, this cabless locomotive, powered by compressed air, is dated 1877 and apparently was used exclusively for the Plymouth Cordage Co., which was at the time the world's largest rope factory. It even had underground tunnels, like a subway, for this engine to pull flatcars of materials around the factory.
