Title: Happy 199th birthday today to the Railways (OTD) Post by: Electric train on September 27, 2024, 06:49:28 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 :o ;D Title: Re: Happy 199th birthday today to the Railways (OTD) Post by: GBM on September 27, 2024, 09:32:44 Always appreciate your input ET.
