1803 LOCOMOTIVE RICHARD TREVITHICK

This is a full scale replica of the first steam railway locomotive in the world, which preceded Stephenson's 'Rocket' by 26 years. It was designed by Richard Trevithick (1771-1833), and built near Ironbridge in Shropshire by the Coalbrookdale Company in the winter of 1802/3. A near identical engine ran the following year at Pen-y-Darren.

The replica was built by Task Undertakings, a Manpower Services Commission project in Birmingham, under the guidance of Allen Gulliver, to drawings made for the Ironbridge Gorge Museum by Stewart Johnson."

This replica is located in Telford Central Station, Telford, Shropshire, UK. The photo was taken on 14 June 2005 by Mark Barker.
