John Bull Locomotive

Acquired in 1884 as the Smithsonian's first large engine artifact, this 1831 English-made locomotive served on one of the United States' first railroads, the Camden and Amboy. In 1981, the timy patriarch returned to life on the old Georgetown Branch in Washington, D.C., on the 150th anniversary of its first run in America.
