Designates "John Bull" as NJ State steam locomotive.
The bill designates the "John Bull" as the New Jersey State steam locomotive. The "John Bull" was shipped from Liverpool, England to Bordentown, New Jersey in 1831 and was assembled by Isaac Dripps. It served from 1833 to the late 1840s, connecting South Amboy and Bordentown and later South Amboy and Camden. Considered an antique by 1858, it was likely the first engine set aside as a historic relic in the United States, exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia and later moved to the Smithsonian Institution.
