The first steam train, a prototype steam road locomotive, was built in 1784 by the Scotish inventor, William Murdoch.

American steamboat pioneer John Hitch, designed and built an early working model of a steam rail locomotive sometime during the 1780s or '90s.

The first full scale working railway steam locomotive was built by British inventor Richard Trevithik. The first rail journey took place on 21 February 1804 at the Penydarren ironworks, near Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales.
