The Locomotive/Funky Train
George Stephen's Locomotive: nicknamed Blucher. Built in 1814, it was the first fully effective steam railway locomotive- it was the catalyst for widespread usage of steam locomotive power. I don't know how I end up reading this stuff at night. Likely stems from reading that How Things Work book with the mammoth as a kid. Did anyone read that book?
At the time, I really just wanted to animate a funky train to some funky music. It ended up birthing a name/ascetic that I release and produce animation under for work.
