No.14 ‘Vulcan’, spotlessly clean, was built by R.&W. Hawthorn & Co. in 1860 for the Whitehaven Junction Railway . Note the tender  only has four wheels, so the range would be quite limited. It was scrapped in 1868 after only eight years in service, so this photo was taken less than twenty-four years after the invention of photography. Many of the class were sold to collieries and minor railways.
