Stephenson’s Engine Demonstration Meeting

A hastily arranged technical demonstration of George Stephenson’s revolutionary engine in the mine pit yard, drawing miners and onlookers despite Lord Ravensworth’s veto. The gathered crowd clusters around heavy pipes and gleaming metal components, their breath visible in the chilly air as Stephenson explains his innovation. Luke proudly watches his mentor, while Ravensworth’s frustration grows at being undermined by Stephenson’s bold defiance of safety concerns.
