| 1898-03-15 | The Canada Atlantic railway claims to have the first locomotive headlight in America lighted with acetylene gas. The engine is No. 1, driven by Engineer Dewar. He says that the new light is as steady as starlight and as brilliant as an arc. The Kingston Whig-Standard of 1898-03-18 repeats the claim ('The Canadian Atlantic railway claims ...'). | Ottawa Free Press 1898-03-15(Transcribed by Colin J.
