In 1803, Richard Trevithick invented the first steam engine at pressure and the first engine locomotive because he observed that it has more potency than the atmospheric pressure engines used until this moment.







Nine years later, in 1812, John Blenkinsop invented the first locomotive. It was a rack train, the railway have teeth that hook with the wheel. He believed that the wheels smooth slides on the railway also smooth.







Many years later, in 1879, Werner Von Siemens invented the first electric train. It was dragged by an electric locomotive. He unrolled a system for transmit electricity at locomotive.


In 1897 Frank Sprague invented the diesel train, he invented this, for that the train doesn’t have to a separately locomotive.

The coal and others merchandises were transporting of one station at other than by others transports and the receipts increase.
