Description

According to contemporary physics, when George Stephenson and his son Robert reached 30 miles per hour, the following was to happen;

• Your clothes would catch fire from the friction created by wind resistance
• The water in the tender would boil off due to the same principle as above
• Wind resistance would force your skin back across your face and shove your eyes in
• The smooth-wheeled locomotive would spin so fast at speed that it would make sparks
• The pistons would be moving so furiously that the smoke would make a vertical column at any speed
• Period material would be shaken to pieces
