In 1825 the Stockton & Darlington Railway made history when it began operations as the world’s first public railway. Locomotion No.1 is the legendary locomotive that ushered in the birth of the modern railway, and it is from this origin that all public railways the world over developed to become the driving force behind economic progress.
The brief history that accompanied the locomotive’s preservation in 1857 was both inadequate and factually incorrect. To rectify this, a major archival and archaeological study was initiated by the National Railway Museum to establish the true history of Locomotion No.1 both in service and during retirement. This detailed study corrects and expands the historical record for future generations of railway enthusiasts and historians. -

- Michael D.Verified BuyerReviewingLocomotion No.1I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoLocomotion No. 1
A well researched book, providing (to me) early aspects of the locomotives' history with particular emphasis on the people associated with it's maintenance and day-to-day operations.
