Agenoria Locomotive
This Agenoria engine was built in 1829 by Foster Rastrick & Co of Stourbridge, for the Earl of Dudley’s Shutt End Colliery Railway at Kingswinford in Staffordshire. On its first outing, it reportedly carried 360 people in 8 trucks at a speed of 7.5 mph, which would have been 45 people to a truck, though some may have been children. It remains part of the National Collection and is on static display at the National Railway Museum at York.
