It isn't who... it's more of a what. The quote comes from the story "Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel." Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, Mary Anne, are faced with becoming obsolete. Mulligan always made the claim Mary Ann can "dig more in a day than 100 men could in a week", yet started to doubt the veracity of his claim. Presented with the opportunity to make good on the claim, Mulligan and Mary Anne complete their task. However, in his haste, Mulligan forgets to leave an exit for himself and Mary Anne. The solution to the predicament comes in the form of a young boy's suggestion, and all are happy.

Yes. Here it is: Steam Shovel The dinosaurs are not all dead. I saw one raise its iron head To watch me walking down the road Beyond our house today. Its jaws were dripping with a load Of earth and grass that had it cropped. It must have heard me where I stopped, Snorted white steam my way, And stretched its long neck out to see, And chewed, and grinned quite amiably. Charles Malam.
A train that runs on steam. But first you need the coal and fire and shovel.
