The first successful steam-powered locomotive was invented by George Stephenson, an English engineer, in 1814. However, it was his locomotive "Locomotion No. 1" in 1825 that marked the beginning of railway transport as we know it, used to carry coal from mines in England. The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive was built in the United Kingdom in 1804 by Richard Trevithick, a British engineer. Trevithick's invention hauled a train along the Penydarren Ironworks' tramway in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Though not initially as successful or as enduring as Stephenson's work, Trevithick's pioneering contribution laid important groundwork for the development of rail transport, leading to the modern trains we know today. The development of the steam engine train revolutionized transportation, enabling faster and more efficient movement of goods and people, and played a pivotal role in the industrial revolution.
