Old Killingworth 4-Wheeled Engine by George Stephenson, 1823: A Historical Snapshot This photograph showcases the Old Killingworth 4-wheeled engine, designed and built by the legendary inventor George Stephenson in 1823. Listed in RE Bleasdale's Locomotive Engines catalogue, entry 1274, this engine holds a significant place in railway history. George Stephenson (1781-1848) is renowned for his pioneering work in the field of railway locomotives. His innovations revolutionized transportation, making it faster and more efficient. The Old Killingworth engine is an early example of his groundbreaking work, predating his more famous Rocket engine by over a decade. The Old Killingworth engine was taken for the Stephenson Centenary in 1881, marking the 100th anniversary of Stephenson's birth. The image captures the engine's intricate details, from its large driving wheels to the intricately designed boiler and cylinders. The engine's rustic appearance, with its aged metalwork and weathered surface, adds to its historical charm. RE Bleasdales, a leading supplier of locomotive engines during the late 19th century, recognized the historical importance of this engine and included it in their extensive catalogue. The catalogue entry 1274 serves as a testament to the Old Killingworth engine's significance in the annals of railway history. This photograph is a precious snapshot of railway history, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable innovations that shaped the future of transportation. The Old Killingworth 4-wheeled engine by George Stephenson, 1823, remains an enduring symbol of engineering prowess and ingenuity.
