Caption | The "Dorchester" was Canada's first steam locomotive. It was built in 1835 by Robert Stephenson in Newcastle-on-Tyne and shipped in parts across the Atlantic. The present model was built and photographed much later, perhaps for the 50th anniversary in 1886, which would fit the impression of the image |
Caption (German) | Die "Dorchester" war die erste Dampflokomotive Kanadas. Sie wurde 1835 bei Robert Stephenson in Newcastle-on-Tyne gebaut und in Teilen über den Atlantik verschifft. Das vorliegende Modell ist ganz wesentlich später gebaut und fotografiert worden, vielleicht zum 50-Jahre-Jubiläum 1886, was zur Anmutung des Bildes passen würde |
