Best Answer

In 1830 Cooper invented the steam locomotive called Tom Thumb, so it would be safe to say he was more than likely the first man to ride a train in the USA.

However, Trevithick and Stephenson two early English pioneers of steam locomotives had each produced engines several years before Cooper.
