EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Trevithick's Locomotive No. 1808, also known as the "Catch-me-who-can," taking center stage at the steam circus on New Road in Euston Square, London. Built in 1808 by the renowned British inventor, Richard Trevithick, this engine marked a significant milestone in the history of transport as it was one of the earliest working steam locomotives. The "Catch-me-who-can" earned its name due to a bet Trevithick made with a group of skeptics who doubted the locomotive's ability to pull heavier loads than a horse-drawn carriage. Trevithick accepted the challenge, and the engine successfully pulled 25 wagons laden with coal and 10 tons of cast iron, leaving the doubters in awe. In this photograph, the historical engine is displayed at the steam circus, a popular attraction in London during the 19th century. The circus showcased various steam-powered machines and inventions, providing entertainment and education to the public. The "Catch-me-who-can" stood proudly among these marvels, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the Industrial Revolution. The New Road location, now known as Euston Square, holds a rich history in transport and engineering. The area was once home to the Grand Junction Canal, which played a crucial role in the transportation of goods from the Midlands to London. The arrival of the steam locomotive revolutionized the way goods were transported, paving the way for the modern railway system. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam power reigned supreme and the impossible became possible through human ingenuity and determination.
