Agenoria

Agenoria was an early steam locomotive built in 1829 by Foster, Rastrick and Company of Stourbridge, England, for the Earl of Dudley's Shutt End colliery railway near Kingswinford, which linked mines with a canal basin on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. It is a four-wheel-coupled locomotive with two vertical cylinders acting through grasshopper beams, and it carried an unusually tall chimney to aid the draught. It first ran on 2 June 1829 and, unlike the company's three locomotives sent to America, had a long working life of roughly thirty years before it was withdrawn around 1864. Rediscovered in 1884, it was given to the Science Museum in London and is now on display at the National Railway Museum in York.
