Locomotive No. 1 hauled the first passenger train in New South Wales on the line between Sydney and Parramatta in 1855. It was designed by James McConnell and built in England by Robert Stephenson & Co of Newcastle-on-Tyne.
It has been in the Powerhouse Collection for more than a century and is one of the most significant objects relating to the history of New South Wales.
Locomotive No. 1 is also an important representation of British railway history, as it is believed to be the only surviving McConnell-designed goods express locomotive from the early 1850s.
