The Robert Stephenson was an early passenger steam locomotive operated by the Leipzig-Dresden Railway Company, known as the LDE. It was built by Robert Stephenson and Company of Newcastle upon Tyne in England, under factory number 205, and delivered to the railway in 1838. It remained on the line for roughly two decades and was retired at some point between 1857 and 1860. The English Wikipedia article on it is brief and gives no dimensions, performance figures or later history beyond its retirement.
