<title>New York Transit Museum - John Bull locomotive replica dedic (Sat May 17  2008)</title>
<link>http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/events.cgi#371</link>
<description><![CDATA[All aboard for a day-long outing to celebrate a remarkable chapter of railroad
history in Hicksville, Long Island. Acquired by the Smithsonian in 1884 the 1831
English-made John Bull locomotive served on one of the United States' early
railroads, the Camden and Amboy, and subsequently influenced the design for Ariel,
the famed first locomotive of the Long Island Railroad, built in 1835. Thanks to the
tireless efforts of Jim Pavone, president of the Hicksville Chamber of Commerce, we
can now celebrate the dedication of a full-size replica of the John Bull at Kennedy
Memorial Park, followed by a visit to the Gregory Museum's own steam locomotives
and a railroad symposium. Lunch will be provided.<br>
