Who invented the railroads you use today?
George Stephenson, around 1825. The 4' 8 1/2" gauge was used by horse drawn wagons in mines for years before and was adopted as standard across the USA, UK and most of Europe. Other gauges were tried and dropped, in favour of standardisation. * Added - Although George was responsible for standardizing the railroad tracks and advancing railroads, he was not the inventor of the locomotive or of the railroads. The recognized locomotive inventor is Richard Trevithick in 1803, but his invention relied on inventions of many people before him as well. The first railroads date to the 1500's and many people were responsible to advance them to what they are today.

What mining safety device was invented by George Stephenson?
* Correction - George Stephenson invented a safety lamp for use in the mines. His device, the Tube Safety Lamp, was designed in August 1815. He had the metalwork built by Mr. Hogg, a tinworker in Newcastle. He had the glass formed at the Northampton Glass House, also in Newcastle. The lamp was completed October 21, 1815 and Stephenson took it to the Kilingworth mines to test it. Stephenson descended into the mine that night, accompanied by Nicholas Wood, the head viewer at the mine, and Mr. Moodie, the under viewer. They located a section where hydrogen gas was found and heard it hissing from the roof. Boards were assembled to concentrate the foul air in the area. After an hour, Mr. Moodie, who was experienced with the dangers of explosions and presence of gas, noting that if hte lamp failed to work their lives were in danger. Stephenson advanced to the foul area and the lamp reacted such that it first grew brighter, into a great flame in the lamp, and then went out. Stephenson worked to improve the design, constructing a second lamp and testing it November 2, 1815. On November 9, 1815, a boy was killed by an explosion at the same area the first lamp had been tested, and it was acknowledged that if the Stephenson lamp had been in use, it would not have happened. Stephenson completed his 3rd and final lamp on November 24, 1815. By December, it was fully accepted, nicknamed the Geordy Lamp, and began in regular use at Killingworth, where it was used for at least 40 years (most likely more but the accounts of these events were written in 1859). Meanwhile, Sir Humphry Davy designed and constructed a lamp, the first of which was presented November 8, 1815. Sir Humphry Davy, a recognized and well educated man, and a Baronet, was successful in organizing the eminent people of the era to ridicule and discredit Stephenson based upon the proposal that no mere mine worker without an education could invent such a device - although it was in use in many mines. It was later documented in the late 1800's that the Geordy Lamp was superior to the Davy Lamp.
