The first full scale working railway steam locomotive was built in the United Kingdom in 1804 by a gentleman called Richard Trevithick. He was an English engineer born in Cornwall. This used high pressure steam to drive the engine by one power stroke. (The transmission system employed a large flywheel to even out the action of the piston rod.) On 21 February 1804 the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks, in Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales (UK). There is a memorial in the image of that locomotive in the town at a area between Penydarren and the top of the Merthyr Town area called Pont Morlais that celebrates this event
