The steam train was first developed in the mid-19th century. It was a revolutionary piece of technology that enabled people to travel further and faster than ever before. The first steam engine was built in 1804 by British engineer Richard Trevithick and its success led to the development of larger more advanced versions over the following decades.

  • 1804: Richard Trevithick builds the first steam engine
  • 1814: George Stephenson builds the first successful steam locomotive
  • 1825: The Stockton and Darlington Railway opens making it the worlds first public railway to use steam locomotives
  • 1829: The Liverpool and Manchester Railway opens the worlds first inter-city railway

The steam train was a major breakthrough in transportation technology and it changed the way we travel forever. From the mid-19th century onwards steam trains were used all over the world allowing people to travel faster and further than ever before.
