Framed Print of George Stephenson, Father of Railways: the first locomotive engine, 1881. Creator: Unknown
George Stephenson, Father of Railways: [Locomotion, ] the first locomotive engine, 1881. The Stockton and Darlington Railway...was originally only intended to be a tramway worked by horse power, and as such it was surveyed, and its construction commenced by Mr. Stephenson. During the progress of the works the engineer suggested frequently that he should be allowed to work the line with locomotives, and finally Mr. Pease and his friends were prevailed upon to consent. The railway was opened for traffic on Sept. 27, 1825, George Stephenson himself driving the first locomotive, the engine drawing thirty-eight vehicles, upon which there were four hundred and fifty passengers, and some ninety tons of merchandise. The highest speed attained was twelve miles an hour; the average four to six. The railway was projected for the purpose of opening up the Stockton and Darlington coal district'. Illustration published in a special supplement to celebrate the centenary of the birth of British civil engineer and mechanical engineer George Stephenson (1781-1848). From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
