To the best of my knowledge there are no broadsides about the S&DR. I know of no other song about the Stockton and Darlington Railway. I don't know the Ron Angel song mentioned in earlier correspomdance - I would be pleased to find details of it.

The following song is one of my own from the book 'Darlington Town' (which, despite its name, only contains a handful of songs about Darlington). If anyone wants the tune they can find it on the website bcfolk.com

THEY'RE BUILDING A ROAD (Stockton & Darlington Railway)
(Brian Childs)

1        They're building a road ...
        They're building a road
        They're building a road of iron
        A start has been made and the track has been laid
                And it runs between Stockton and Darlington

2        At Shildon it starts ...
        They're building the carts
        They're using the arts that's long since been lost
        They're shaping the parts and no matter the cost
                And it runs between Stockton and Darlington

3        The engine stands there ...
        Blows smoke in the air
        The people all come for to stand and to stare
        It's called Locomotion* and what a commotion
                It makes between Stockton and Darlington

4        They're making their way ...
        Without any delay
        The coaches begin for to swing and to sway
        The wheels turn around and they fly o'er the ground
                On the run between Stockton and Darlington

5        The wagoners say ...
        This is a black day
        They say that the price is too much for to pay
        A terrible cost, many jobs will be lost
                On the run between Stockton and Darlington

(Repeat Verse 1)

* Locomotion was the first locomotive ever to pull a passenger railway train; it was brought to Heighington Station and put on the rails there. It was then steamed to Darlington for the historic first passenger train journey (Darlington to Stockton) in 1825. Curiously, subsequent passenger trains were horse-drawn for several years; Locomotion was initially only used for the much more lucrative goods traffic (mainly coal).
