Foster, Rastrick & Co.

Foster, Rastrick & Co. operated the Stourbridge Engine Works in Stourbridge, Worcestershire, in partnership between ironmaster James Foster (whose Bradley Iron Works supplied the materials) and engineer John Urpeth Rastrick (formerly of Hazledine & Rastrick, Bridgnorth). The partnership operated from about 1818 until Rastrick's death in 1856.

The firm's most celebrated products were the locomotives Agenoria of 1829 (built for the Earl of Dudley's Shutt End Railway at Kingswinford, and now preserved at the National Railway Museum) and the Stourbridge Lion of 1828–1829, exported to the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company in the United States. The Stourbridge Lion was the first commercial locomotive to operate in North America.
