The History of Steam Locomotives

The steam engine was invented in the late 1700’s as part of the foundation of the Industrial Revolution. The first steam locomotive was developed in the early 1800’s. The first use was to carry goods on tramways in the place of horses. Over the past 200 years, the principle of how a steam engine works has remained the same.
