George Stephenson is the inventor of the first steam engines for railways in the 18th century. He was born on the 9th of June, 1781, in a small colliery village named Wylam, on the north bank of the river Tyne. The locomotive was finished and put upon the Cillingwood Railway on the 25th July, 1814. On an ascending grade, this engine succeeded in pulling after it eight loaded wagons of thirty tons' weight, at about flour miles an hour, and was the most successful working engine that had ever been constructed. It was called "Blusher." It was a triumph, which pushed the inventor to experiment further.
Richard Trevithick (1771-1833), was the first person to introduce steam engines on rails. He adopted this craft in Cornish tin mines, where he built the tram road engine. His engines were a novel architecture which he invented in 1804. The steam engine hauled a load of 10 tons of iron, 70 men and five extra wagons the 9 miles between the ironworks at Pen-y-Darron in the town of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. It took about two hours to reach the destination.

There were numerous people involved in the invention and development of the steam train from the late 18th Century until around 1830

The first train pulled by a steam engine on rails was on February 21 1804 pulling 10 tons of iron ore and seventy men along rails where the motive power was normally provided by horses. That first steam locomotive was designed by Richard Trevithick, a Cornish engineer, but it was another 20 years before Stephenson's Rocket, the first with fare paying passengers.
