Who invented the steam locomotive?

Answer 1

George Stephenson

for all practical purposes, Richard Trevithick, a Welshman, in l804.
Probably John Fitch in USA between 1780 and 1794. The first full scale steam locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick in Britain in 1804.

James Watt invented the first modern steam engine, though rudimentary steam devices can be traced back to the first century in Egypt.

The first steam locomotive prototype was built in 1784 by William Murdoch, who was born in Scotland and worked as an engineer and inventor in Birmingham, England. The prototype was the basis for a later design that could carry 4.5 tons of cargo in addition to the driver.

The first locomotive to be able to pull cargo cars on a track was developed in 1804 by Richard Trevithick, a British inventor and mining engineer. It could pull five cargo and passenger cars at a speed of 4 km/h.

In 1820, George Stephenson, English civil and mechanical engineer, overcame the problem of the weight of the engine crushing wooden and iron rails by distributing the weight with a series of wheels and built the first successful railway. It was a line of 8 miles, from Hetton to Sunderland and the first rail that did not use animal power.
Steam trains were invented by George Stephenson and Richard Trevithick.
