Steam engines were primarily made in industrialized countries during the 18th and 19th centuries, with significant production in Britain, where the technology was first developed. Key manufacturing centers included Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow. Additionally, steam engines were produced in other countries like the United States, Germany, and France as the technology spread globally. Factories and workshops dedicated to steam engine production emerged as the demand for mechanized power grew.
Diesel and gasoline engines began to replace steam engines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The widespread adoption of internal combustion engines in automobiles and trucks during the early 1900s, alongside advancements in diesel technology, contributed to the decline of steam power. By the mid-20th century, steam engines had largely been replaced in most applications, particularly in transportation. However, steam engines continued to be used in certain industries, such as power generation, for several decades thereafter.
The earliest steam engines did not have cylinders in the way we think of them today. The first practical steam engine, developed by Thomas Newcomen in the early 18th century, utilized a piston within a cylinder, but earlier designs, like those of Hero of Alexandria, were more conceptual and didn't function as efficient engines. The cylinder-and-piston configuration became a defining feature of later steam engines, particularly with James Watt's improvements in the late 18th century.
For a steam engine, the steam(throttle) valve that sets the engine speed/power is often known as a regulator. k.Shiva

steam engines
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.

He was asked to take a "look at" a Newcomen engine to repair it if he could. This is what sparked his interest in improving steam engines.
They are called steam trains because they are pulled by steam engines.
Steam engines running on wooden rails, carried coal etc from a mine. Before steam engines, ponies pulled the wagons.
