| CLINIC: The Design and History of Early British Locomotives | ||
| DAY: Thursday | TIME: 8:30-9:30 PM | ROOM: Wayne |
| DESCRIPTION: In 1830 the first steam locomotive for American use, The Stourbridge Lion, arrived in the US from Britain. Even though it was primitive, it was built on 25 years of locomotive development and knowledge. This clinic will describe the first 25 years of British steam locomotive development, when there was no industry knowledge to draw on. | ||
