"City of Truro was the first steam loco to reach 100 mph and it's designer was a Devonian." Flying Scotsman was the first locomotive officially measured at 100mph using properly calibrated equipment, City of Truro was unofficially measured using stopwatches and mile markers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/making_history/makhist10_prog8b.shtml |
