Caledonian was an early steam locomotive which had a short career on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR).

Design

Caledonian was an 0-4-0 locomotive, with two vertical cylinders mounted in front of the smokebox driving all four wheels by means of connecting rods.[1] The builder was Galloway, Bowman & Glasgow of the Caledonia Foundry, Manchester.[2]

History

Caledonian was only in service for a few years. It was numbered 28 by the L&MR but replaced after a few months, as it had a tendency to derail.[1] It was working as a ballast engine during the London and Birmingham Railway construction when it was involved in a fatal collision with a locomotive named Star on 28 February 1835.[2]

Other locomotives

London, Midland and Scottish Railway Royal Scot Class 4-6-0 locomotive 6141 was originally named Caledonian. This loco was built by the North British Locomotive Company at Glasgow in September 1927 and withdrawn in April 1964 as 46141 The North Staffordshire Regiment.
