This animated resource is about innovation in railway technology in 19th-century Britain. It models an early steam locomotive called Stephenson's Rocket, which won the Rainhill Trials in 1829, a competition to find the best locomotive engine for a railway line approaching completion. It includes background material, an animation of the workings of the locomotive engine, a detailed diagram of the engine and a quiz on the names of the engine parts.
