The first locomotive to be operated in America was the Stourbridge Lion, made in Stourbridge (UK) in 1828, shipped to the US where its first official run was on 8th August 1829. Details are on Wikipedia.

John Bull did not appear till 1831, but it was made by Robert Stephenson & Co.

We are proud of the Lion in Stourbridge!
