Who is the real inventor of the train?

Who invented the train? Early steam locomotive pioneers?

Okay, so the train... who dreamed up that beast? Hmm.

Richard Trevithick seems to be THE dude, at least when it comes to the steam railway engine. He was born in Illogan, Cornwall, England, on April 13, 1771, and died in Dartford, Kent, on April 22, 1833.

Okay, quick facts, quick facts: Richard Trevithick (1771-1833) built the first steam railway locomotive (1803).

I remember readin' somethin' 'bout him a while back. He was all about that high-pressure steam, which was pretty revolutionary at the time. Riské, even.

My grandpa was a railway worker. He always told stories. Not directly abou' Trevithick, but 'bout the legacy. The sheer POWER of those machines. Amazing, isn't it?

Think about it, the FIRST one. He must have been so proud.
