Puffing Billy - Beamish Museum - a photo on Flickriver

            Puffing Billy is the oldest surviving steam locomotive.

Puffing Billy was one of the three similar engines built by engineer William Hedley, engine wright Jonathan Forster and blacksmith Timothy Hackworth, the resident engineer at Wylam Colliery, to replace the horses used as motive power on the tramway.

Definitive records regarding the construction of Puffing Billy do not exist. The exact construction dates are not known for certain, although it was known to be in operation during 1814.

It was the first commercial adhesion steam locomotive, employed to haul coal chaldron* wagons from the mine at Wylam to the docks at Lemington-upon-Tyne in Northumberland.
