History of the Train: Rocket Traditional Cache

The Rocket was designed by Robert Stephenson in 1829. Even though it was not the first steam train, it was the first train to have several innovations that make some of the most advanced trains today. 

The cache is a small tupperwear container hidden in a place typical for this common type of cache.

Safety Notice
While looking you might find some grassy bird nest material. The cache IS NOT hidden in or behind the grassy material. DO NOT dig into the grassy material.

Stephenson's Rocket was an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, designed by Robert Stephenson in 1829. It was built for and won the Rainhill Trials held by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1829 to choose the best design to power the railway.

Though the Rocket was not the first steam locomotive, it was the first to bring together several innovations to produce the most advanced locomotive of its day.

It was built at the Forth Street Works of Robert Stephenson and Company in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is the most famous example of an evolving design of locomotives by Stephenson that became the template for most steam engines in the following 150 years.

The locomotive was preserved and is now on display in the Science Museum in London.
