was in use for several years. In 1811, an Englishman named Blenkinsop constructed a locomotive for use in the Midland colliery, and which was employed on a tramway. Traction was secured by having spur-wheels which worked into a rack at the side of the track. This is really the first railroad locomotive which is known.
It was in use many years, and drew trains... of thirty tons in weight at the rate of three and a half miles an hour.
In 1812, it was proved by a series of experiments that the traction could be obtained without any spur or gear- ing of any kind, which was immediately followed by the patenting of a locomotive with eight wheels, driven by gearing, for the purpose of increasing the adhesion to the rails. In 1813, WiUiam Hedley constructed a loco- motive which had eight wheels, and which w&s known as "Puffing Billy." It was used as late as 1862, when it was given a sanctuary in the British Museum.
