Answer 2

FAQ.

If you mean locomotive-hauled trains, the first was in February 1804 when a locomotive built by Richard Trevithick hauled a train at Pen-y-Darren in Wales.

Horse-drawn rail wagons had existed about 100 years before that.

Answer 3

In 1803, a man named Samuel Homfray decided to fund the development of a steam-powered vehicle to replace the horse-drawn carts on the tramways. Richard Trevithick (1771-1833) built that vehicle, the first steam engine tramway locomotive. And George Stephenson is considered to be the inventor of the first steam locomotive engine for railways.

George Stephenson was an English engineer, which is famous for inventing the train. He was born in 1781 (in Newcastle, England), and died in 1848. When he was 14, he started to take interest in machinery. He was working with his father (which was in charge of a water pump- that ran on steam), and slowly started inventing inventions of his own. With time Stephenson became in charge of all the machines in the big mine. He started to think on a machine that will transport the coal from the mine to a far part.

In 1822 Stephenson convinced the directors to replace the horses with engine. When he saw that his invention is successful he established his own factory to make engines. In 1825 the first public train in the world was operated
