The Furness Railway company owned many different types of locomotives, built by several locomotive building companies, including Sharp Stewart and Company. Others were built by the Furness' constituent companies - the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway, among others. ==Preserved locomotives== Two very early Furness Railway locomotives have been preserved: * Furness Railway No. 3 – "Old Coppernob" 0-4-0 tender engine of 1846, preserved at the National Railway Museum in York. * Furness Railway No. 20 – Sharp Stewart Class A5 0-4-0 tender engine of 1863, now at Locomotion in Shildon. This is Britain's oldest working standard-gauge steam locomotive. It had been converted to a saddle-tank locomotive, but has now been restored to its original tender locomotive design.〔http://ukhrail.uel.ac.uk/cgi-bin/rlylocos?REF=1606〕 * Furness Railway No. 25 – Sharp Stewart Class A5 0-4-0 tender engine of 1865, now at Steamtown Carnforth awaiting restoration. Unlike No. 20 (above), this locomotive remains in its later saddle-tank format.〔http://ukhrail.uel.ac.uk/cgi-bin/rlylocos?REF=1690〕 * Furness Railway No. 115 – Sharp Stewart Class D1 0-6-0 tender locomotive of 1881. The locomotive was lost when a mine working collapsed at Lindal-in-Furness on 22 September 1892; only the tender was rescued, which was then used on a loco to replace 115. The locomotive remains buried 200 ft underground, but is technically still in existence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Locomotives of the Furness Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
