Although not as well-travelled as the Perseverance Rover on Mars, Timothy Burstall's entry at the Rainhill Trials of October 1829 certainly lived up to her name: Perseverance. Burstall was no new-comer to steam and certainly persevered in making a workable locomotive, on both road and rail. Perseverance may have been a Rainhill also-ran, but she influenced many locomotives which came after her.
