Steam powered engines were in many different uses in the 1800's. In locomotives, ships, and tractors and stationary engines in factories. I've never heard of them called anything but 'steam engine' .

It was NOT James Watt that invented the high-pressure steam engine. James Watt made very useful improvements to Newcomen's low-pressure steam engine, while several people experimented in the following years with high-pressure steam. It was Richard Trevithick, however, who invented the first proven, high-pressure steam engine, particularly in his Pen-y-Darren locomotive.
