Named
after the father of the Erie Canal, the DeWitt
Clinton made its maiden run on August 9, 1831. As
one of the earliest steam operated carriers in
America, the DeWitt Clinton is truly unique in
railroading history. With its passengers riding in
standard stagecoach bodies mounted on railroad
wheels, the sight of the DeWitt Clinton was just as
startling in 1831 as it would be today!

The John
Bull is the world's oldest complete and operational
locomotive. Built and designed in England, the John
Bull was sent disassembled to America, where it was
reconstructed in New Jersey to begin service in
1832. This locomotive was the first to have the
innovative, and distinctly American, “cowcatcher”
feature. Retired in 1866, the John Bull regularly
resurfaced at various exhibitions including the 1876
Centennial and the 1927 “Fair of the Iron Horse.”
Today the John Bull resides in the Smithsonian
Institute in Washington, DC.
