Caption | GWR-2'B express locomotive of the "Bulldog" series, built in 1899-1910, Dean and Churchward design. A sister engine to the "City of Bath" shown here, the "City of Truro" set a record in 1904 in that this was the first steam locomotive in the world to reach 100 miles (over 160 km/h). The famous locomotives were sidelined between 1937 and 1951, the "City of Truro" has been preserved (in working order) as a historic locomotive. |
