Locomotive No. 1 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Locomotive No. 1
Locomotive No. 1 hauled the first passenger train in New South Wales, Australia. It was built by Robert Stephenson and Company. In 1846 the ''Sydney Railway Company'' was formed with the objective of building a railway line between Sydney and Parramatta. No. 1 was one of four locomotives that arrived by sea from the manufacturer in January 1855. The first passenger train hauled by No. 1 was a special service from Sydney Station to Long Cove viaduct (near the present site of Lewisham) on 24 May 1855, Queen Victoria's birthday. A common misconception is that Locomotive No.1 hauled the first train at the grand opening of the first New South Wales railway, on 26 September 1855. In fact, No. 1 was in need of maintenance that day and not in steam. Its identical sister locomotive No. 3 worked the first passenger train from Sydney at 9:00 am and this was followed by the official train at 12:00 noon hauled by No. 2, driven by William Sixsmith and fireman William Webster.〔Grunbach, A.

Locomotive No. 1 is the only locomotive designed by James McConnell to have been preserved.〔(Powerhouse Museum collection – Steam Locomotive No. 1 )〕 McConnell was the Locomotive Superintendent of the LNWR's Southern Division at Wolverton railway works and the Sydney Railway Company's Consulting Engineer at the time of the railway order. The design of Locomotive No. 1 was a 0-4-2 modification of the 'Wolverton Express Goods' 0-6-0 introduced on the LNWR in 1854. James McConnell appointed William Scott to supervise the construction of the first engines at Stephenson's Newcastle Works then proceeded to Sydney to organise their erection.〔''A Century of Locomotives''.
