Happy 199th birthday today to the Railways (OTD) Posted by Electric train at 06:49, 27th September 2024 |
On September 27, 1825, Locomotion No. 1 became the world's first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public line, the Stockton and Darlington Railway, in North East England. Locomotion No. 1 was built by George Stephenson at his son Robert's company, the Robert Stephenson and Company.
Personally I have worked on the UK railways for a quarter of this time ............... good grief
