    Replica of Stephenson's 1829 "Rocket" Locomotive

    When England's Liverpool and Manchester Railway held a contest in 1829 to find the best locomotive design for its line, George Stephenson's Rocket took the prize. The Rocket's horizontal boiler, with cylinders directly connected to its driving wheels, set the standard pattern for all subsequent locomotives. Henry Ford commissioned this replica from the original builders in 1928.
