The first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery.
The obvious reason was to pull railroad cars. Why steam? Steam engines were the first type of reliable engine. The steam could be generated by wood or coal, both readily available. Steam engines were powerful and the steam pressure was controllable.

In 1765, James Watt made improvements to the Newcomen engine, which was inefficient but the best steam engine of its time.
George Stephenson is considered to be the inventor of the first steam locomotive engine for railways.
Steam in a steam engine is made by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam is then directed into a cylinder where it pushes a piston, creating mechanical energy that powers the engine.
Steam power and Gas engines were first made in 1769.
