In 1772 Thomas Newcomen invented the first steam engine.  Samuel built a locomotive on Monday, Febuary 13, 1804.  It had a speed of 5 mph.  Even though Stephenson and Losh had their own railmaking company, they chose to use another guys rail, because they were better.  The first locomotives built outside England were manufactured on the blenkshop model.
    The trains were first made in Mesopotamia, west Asia .  The first train made was a cart train .  Trains were the biggest automobile change since canoe to ship .  The Romans made trainways to hall things .  People started building trains in 1562 .  There was a horse train called a dandy-cart .  The first train station was built in Durham, England .  William Murdock built the first steam engine .
    The first railroad tracks were made in Old Smokey Colliry Village of Wylan on June 9, 1781.   George Stephenson invented railroad tracks  .
    The idea of mine trains came to England from Germany .  Iron rails apeared in Cumberland in 1738 .  In 1807 the Oystermouth Railway near Swansea was the first to carry farepaying passengers .  Iron rails appeared in America in 1831 .  Not all companies could afford them .  John Stevens built and operated a small demon station locomotives on a circular track at his estate in New Jersey .  France was the first to try steam power when in 1828 the engineer Mark Seguin imported Stephenson locomotives from Britian to be operated on the St-Etienne to and r'ezieux railway.  Nicholas Cugoat had built the first successful steam-propelled vehicle in 1769 .  Matthew Murry built steam engines similar to those of Trevick.
    Many people thought the train was an invention that would not work out very well . In 1830 an early train called the "Tom Thumb"  raced a horse-drawn wagon .  The train lost.
    The first trains were developed in the early 1800's.  They were extremly fast.  For those days -reaching speeds of 30 mph.  This was so fast that doctors warned people not to ride on them.  It was too great a strain on the human body to go that fast for a long time.
