The steam engine, the use of steam has been percolating since old Chinese days of a toylike device filled with water and pipes coming out of its sides hung over a candle spinning like a top. Time enough man gets ideas how to use this and technology advances by the addition of ideas, technical capabilities, and trial and error. A crude steam device was built to pump water out of coal mines. The late 1700's a crude steam locomotive was invented and the first railroads started in the early 1800's with the first early steam engines, and it slowly grows from there. There is no one -definitive- date of a steam train being invented, but it sounds like the start of the application of a "steam locomotive" may have started about the late 1700's. The start of the modern steam era was about 1911 onward where the super power designs were just getting into its start and peaks around World War 2, the start of the diesel locomotive development started the slow demise of the steam locomotive and by around 1960 most railroads had ended mainline steam use. Museums and historical societies today still keep the steam locomotive alive that you can ride behind a real live steam engine still.
