Robert Stephenson & Co made the locomotive "Invicta" which hauled two trains at the opening. After the sale of "Invicta" in 1839, the line was worked by stationery engines before experiments were made with the "Atmospheric system. The Canterbury & Whitstable Railway was purchased by the South Eastern Railway in 1853 and the line closed in 1931.

It can be seen overtaking a horse-drawn carriage beside it, with spectators standing on the side of the road. The Enterprise began a regular service between London Wall and Paddington via Islington. It was the first regular steam carriage service, and the first mechanically propelled vehicle specially designed for omnibus work to be operated. The engine worked on a crank and iron chains applied the power to the back wheels. The engineer Walter Hancock (1799-1852) was born in Marlborough, Wiltshire, the sixth son of John Hancock, a timber merchant and cabinet-maker. He served an apprenticeship as a watchmaker and jeweller in London. Hancock invented a steam engine in 1824 in which the ordinary cylinder and piston were replaced by two flexible bags, consisting of several layers of canvas bonded with a rubber solution, and alternately filled with steam. Between 1824 and 1836 he constructed a number of steam road vehicles at his Stratford works in East London. By 1840 interest in the development of steam-powered road vehicles had reduced, partly due to the road tolls imposed by the Turnpike Acts.
