At the start of the industrial age (around the 1700s) men created locomotives to move the materials they needed to run their factories, i.e. coal, iron ore, and to deliver their finished products.
Animals were too unreliable, needed constant care, and they could also do only so much. So locomotives were created to do the hard work of moving raw material and finished product.
Steam was first used to power these locomotive.
