First American Locomotive Engineers: Horatio Allen and the Stourbridge Lion
Horatio Allen, the first locomotive engineer in America, died in New Jersey on December 31, 1889. Born 1892, he was 27 when he piloted the Stourbridge Lion on the Carbondale and Honesdale line, a trial that failed due to rails' weight. The Stourbridge Lion, built in England, proved too heavy and was abandoned. The following year a pioneer American locomotive was built in Gala Spring, North Carolina, and added in 1830 to the Charleston and Hamburg railroad in South Carolina.
