Richard Trevithick was recognized for his pioneering work in steam engine technology, particularly for developing the high-pressure steam engine. In 1801, he built the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive, known as the Penydarren locomotive, which successfully hauled a train along the Penydarren Ironworks' tramway in South Wales. His innovations laid the groundwork for the future of rail transport and contributed significantly to the Industrial Revolution.
