What was the name of the first built steam train?
The first built steam train is generally credited to George Stephenson, who designed the locomotive called the "Locomotion No. 1" in 1825. It was used on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, which is considered the world's first public railway to use steam locomotives. However, prior to this, the first steam-powered vehicle was created by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in 1769, but it was not a train in the modern sense.
Is there any difference between a locomotive and a steam train?
A locomotive (also called an engine) is a vehicle that provides the power to pull (or push) a train. As well as the locomotive, the train consist of the vehicles which actually contain what is being transported. These can be either freight wagons, or passenger carriages. Locomotives are classified depending on how they are powered. The first locomotives were steam powered (a 'steam engine'), modern locomotives are either powered by electricity or by a diesel engine (an 'electric locomotive' or a 'diesel locomotive'). A steam train is a train which is being powered by a steam engine. Some passenger trains have diesel or electric motors under the carriages and do not need a separate locomotive.

What were the first trains powered by?
The first trains were powered by steam engines, which utilized steam generated from boiling water. This steam was used to drive pistons, turning wheels and propelling the train forward. The earliest steam locomotive, built by George Stephenson in the early 19th century, marked the beginning of steam-powered rail transport. Eventually, trains transitioned to electric and diesel power in the 20th century.
What was George Stephensons second steam train called?
George Stephenson's second steam locomotive was called the "Locomotion No. 1." It was built in 1825 for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, which was the world's first public railway to use steam locomotives. Locomotion No. 1 played a crucial role in demonstrating the viability of steam-powered rail transport.
