The first successful steam locomotive in the United States was built by Peter Cooper in 1830, known as the "Tom Thumb." However, the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive in the U.S. was the "Best Friend of Charleston," which began operation in 1830 as well. The development of railroads quickly expanded afterward, significantly influencing transportation across the country.
