electrified. Two of the steam cars are preserved today, one in
Zürich, one in München.

William Hedley's steam locomotive "Puffing Billy" of 1813, with
vertical cylinders and a rather complicated mechanism, was one
of the first really successful steam locomotives of the world,
during 48 years it hauled coal wagons from a coal mine to a
nearby river port with a speed of 8 km/h. The original is in
the Science Museum in London (the oldest preserved steam
locomotive of the world), this is a replica built 1906 by the
K.Bay.Sts.B. works in München. Both the firebox and
smokestack are on the rear end of the boiler, where the fireman
was working; the driver stood on the front end of the boiler.
