The Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR) was the first public railway intended for steam locomotive use, operating across north east England from 1825 to 1863. The S&DR’s first line connected coal mines at Shildon in County Durham to Darlington.
From the first day of operation steam trains were used to haul coal wagons. Passengers travelled by horse and carriage until 1833 when the service switched to steam.
