Trains | Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation

Interesting to see the replica of a British engine there. The yellow painted one is a copy of "Rocket" from the world's first inter city railway (railroad to you), the Liverpool to Manchester. What is left of the much modified original is currently in The National Railway Museum in York, Yorkshire. The story was that Henry Ford wanted to buy the original but having received a very firm refusal had to settle for a replica. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephenson%27s_Rocket
