The steam locomotives Virginia and Florida were passenger locomotives of the KFNB . They were supplied by the William Norris locomotive factory in 1841 and had the axle formula 2A.
Since one was apparently satisfied with the services of the New York afterwards, this reorder took place. The difference in the dimensions of the two machines to the New York was very small.
The Florida was sidelined in 1850 and retired in 1856. The Virginia served until 1858 and was not retired until 1861.
