Trains
Until the invention of the train,
very few people could get any further than the next village. Steam
trains or locomotives are some of the most extraordinary machines in the
world. When the giant steam locomotive monsters roared into a train
station there was a roar of excitement. The English were the first
people to try to build the first train or locomotive driven by a steam
engine. Electric locomotives are very much different than steam and
diesel engines.
James E. Watt’s first
steam engine was completed in 1769. Finally on May 10, 1869, trains
of the two railroads met at Promontory, Utah.
