Description: | The steam locomotive 'Comet' was built in 1835 by R. and W. Hawthorn in Newcastle. It ran on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, which was the first regular passenger line on Tyneside. It followed the Tyne Valley and was the first railway line across England. Steam locomotives like 'Comet' could travel at speeds around 30 mph (50 km/h) and remained in use until the 1850s. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | invention and innovation living in the North East transport made in the North East industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
