            A statue to the man at Locomotion Shildon (North East England) as a Pacer DMU passes behind on a Bishop Auckland to Darlington service.

Timothy Hackworth (22 December 1786 – 7 July 1850) was an English steam locomotive engineer who lived in Shildon, County Durham, England and was the first locomotive superintendent of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. 
In addition to his duties on the Stockton and Darlington, Hackworth set up his own business in which his son, John Wesley Hackworth, fully participated. This business produced a variety of machinery. 
 
He built at Shildon in 1836, the first locomotive to run in Russia for the Tsarskoye Selo Railway, of which his son was responsible for the safe delivery and preliminary trials. 
Also in 1838, the Samson was built for the Albion Mines Railway in Nova Scotia, and was one of the first engines to run
