Wich date of the race is correct?
There are many links that containing several different dates of the race between Tom Thumb (locomotive) and the horse. Wich date is correct August 18 1830    or September 18 1830    or August 25 1829 ? If August 25 1829 is not the date of the race then there is a mistake in Wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1829_in_rail_transport.

 * Hmmm.... While I like to think that the NRHS list is authoritative, I've found other items there that weren't correct as well, so I've been placing more trust in a variety of other sources.  Clearly further investigation is needed here.  A quick scan of freely available newspapers didn't give me any clearer picture of which is correct.  Slambo (Speak)  11:29, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
