James Watt did not invent the steam train. The steam train was developed by George Stephenson in 1814. James Watt did, however, pioneer improvements to the steam engine, which eventually led to the development of steam-powered locomotives.

Who came up with the idea of the steam engine?

We don't know who came up with the idea, but the first commercially-successful steam engine was developed and built by Robert Fulton. Steam-powered machines were known to the ancient Greeks, but they did not harness the power in noticeably useful ways. Yes, Zbw is correct about the greeks, but modern steam power is derived from James Watt seeing a kettle boil on the fire & recognising power which could be harnessed.... or is that apocryphal ?
