As one of the earliest steam operated carriers in America, the DeWitt Clinton is truly unique in railroading history. With its passengers riding in standard stagecoach bodies mounted on railroad wheels, the sight of the DeWitt Clinton was just as startling in 1831 as it would be today! (From plaque)

It now has a permanent home at the Henry Ford Museum. The coordinates are for the main entrance to the museum.
