Locomotives
Early locomotives include Lancashire Witch and Sans Pareil, which had competed in the Rainhill Trials. Sans Pareil was used on the railway until 1844, when it was sold to the Coppull Colliery, Chorley and used as a stationary engine until 1863 when it was presented to the Science Museum by John Hick. In 1831 the railway owned three other locomotives, "Union" built in 1830 by Rothwell, Hick and Rothwell Bolton, "Salamander" and "Veteran" both built by Crook & Dean in Bolton.

In the days of long ago,
Ranged where the locomotives sing
And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
