This is a difficult one to answer - Trevithick's steam train seemingly had no power issues, but it smashed the cast iron rails that it ran on. The first ever reliabilty records for the railways can be found at the Rainhill Trials of 1829, and it was here that George Stephenson's Rocket appeared to perform the most reliably, particularly against its main rivals, Novelty and Sans Pareil.
