Starting from the top left corner, we have Penydarren - the very first working railway steam locomotive invented by Richard Trevithick in 1804. This groundbreaking invention paved the way for future advancements and set the stage for what was to come. Moving clockwise, our attention is drawn to John Blenkinsops Salamanca, built in 1812. This locomotive stands as a testament to innovation and engineering prowess during its time. Finally, at the bottom right corner of this remarkable composition is Puffing Billy. Constructed in 1814 by William Hedley, Jonathan Forster, and Timothy Hackworth, it represents another milestone achievement in locomotive design. Together these three magnificent machines symbolize human ingenuity and determination to conquer new frontiers. Their existence marked a turning point not only for transportation but also for industrialization as a whole. Through this photograph's stark contrast between light and shadow, we are reminded of their immense power and significance within history's timeline.
