The first locomotive in the United States was built by Peter Cooper in 1830, and it was named the "Tom Thumb." This small steam locomotive was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of rail transport and was used to pull a passenger train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Although it was not a commercial success, it marked the beginning of the American railroad industry and influenced future locomotive designs.
