Personally, though, I observe the Hutt rite, 14 April (1874, first steam train from Lowerer Hutt to Lower Hutt). Those who live in the Hutt Archipelago and believe that a mythical South Island exists observe 1 December (1863, a fable about a steam train in “Christchurch”, wherever that is)

Let us not forget the Lancashire rite that recognises 15 September (1830, first steam-only modern intercity railway)

Victorian rite recognises 12 Sep (1854, first Melbourne-Sandridge train) whereas the British tradition (first steam train in the world) is 27 Sep (1825).
Ancient greek orthodox gunzels would recognise the Diolkos of Corinth (I presume this should be a ‘Kings Birthday’ style fixed date of 4/12)
