EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic Robert Hawthorns locomotive, built for the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway in 1835. The image was taken during the Stephenson Centenary celebrations in 1881, marking the 100th year anniversary of the birth of George Stephenson, the father of the railway age. Robert Hawthorn, a prominent engineer and partner in the Locomotive Department of the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway Company, designed and constructed this locomotive. Hawthorn's innovative design, featuring a horizontal boiler and outside cylinders, was a significant departure from the traditional vertical boilers and inside cylinders used in earlier locomotives. The locomotive in the photograph, with its intricate details and impressive size, is a testament to the technological advancements of the railway industry during the mid-19th century. The Newcastle & Carlisle Railway was one of the earliest and most important railway lines in England, connecting the industrial powerhouse of Newcastle upon Tyne with the border city of Carlisle. The photograph, taken for the Stephenson Centenary, serves as a reminder of the pioneering spirit and ingenuity of the railway pioneers of the time. The Robert Hawthorns locomotive, with its historic significance and engineering excellence, continues to fascinate railway enthusiasts and historians alike.
