When Was The Steam Train Invented?

This is always a confusing question because it is easy to get the words, engine and train mixed up, many people assume you mean a train if you say steam engine so, therefore, it was Thomas Savery in 1679 who first invented the steam engine for work in mines. However, it was George Stephenson who adapted the idea of the steam engine and invented the first steam train, also called a locomotive, in 1829.

Before the train is made, the Greeks made wagons. It was not used for more than fifteen centuries when the Greeks empire fell. Wagons began to reappear again in the renaissance period.

Stephenson’s earliest locomotive designs were focused on constructing locomotives for coal from the mines, but in 1823 he joined forces with Robert Stephenson, his son, and Edward Pease and they became the first locomotive builders in the world.

On 27th September 1825, George Stephenson was at the controls of a locomotive that made a journey of just less than nine miles in two hours on the newly opened Stockton and Darlington line. Four years later in 1829, Stephenson designed the Rocket, a steam train locomotive capable of pulling many loads including passengers. It was this train that stimulated the huge growth in the railways industry and was very influential in the development of the industrial revolution.

Stephenson went on to discover a rich coal seam while he was cutting the Clay Cross railway tunnel and formed the Clay Cross Company in 1837. The Company built houses for the miners and their families resulting in 400 new homes and an entire community of schools, shops, a church and a Mechanics Institute, all at the company’s expense.

The first steam locomotive to run on rails was invented by Richard Trevithick 25year before George Stephenson introduced the Rocket.

I have to do a Social Studies project on trains. :(  
If I could get a straight answer out of some one that would be great.

George Stephenson is the inventor of the first steam engines for railways in the 18th century. He was born on the 9th of June, 1781, in a small colliery village named Wylam, on the north bank of the river Tyne. The locomotive was finished and put upon the Cillingwood Railway on the 25th July, 1814. On an ascending grade, this engine succeeded in pulling after it eight loaded wagons of thirty tons' weight, at about flour miles an hour, and was the most successful working engine that had ever been constructed. It was called "Blusher." It was a triumph, which pushed the inventor to experiment further.

Richard Trevithick (1771-1833), was the first person to introduce steam engines on rails. He adopted this craft in Cornish tin mines, where he built the tram road engine. His engines were a novel architecture which he invented in 1804. The steam engine hauled a load of 10 tons of iron, 70 men and five extra wagons the 9 miles between the ironworks at Pen-y-Darron in the town of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. It took about two hours to reach the destination.

The first train pulled by a steam engine on rails was on February 21 1804 pulling 10 tons of iron ore and seventy men along rails where the motive power was normally provided by horses. That first steam locomotive was designed by Richard Trevithick, a Cornish engineer, but it was another 20 years before Stephenson's Rocket, the first with fare paying passengers.

The worlds first steam train was built at the Penydarren
Ironworks,Merthyr Tydfil,WALES,UK in 1803 - 1804 ,it made it's first
run on 21st Feb.1804 over a distance of nine and a half miles..

It is in the Guinness Book of Records and is also depicted on the £1
coin minted in 2004 on the 200th anniversary of the PENYDARREN
Locomotive.

Well, in my DK encyclopedia, on Page 491, it states:

"WHEN DID THE RAILWAY AGE BEGIN?
The first steam locomotive to run on rails was seen in Wales in 1804. Designs were greatly improved in the 1820s by English rail pioneer George Stephenson. Railways were soon opening up to the world."

I couldn't find out exactly who it was who invented the first steam train, but it was definitely in Wales, and George Stephenson did not invent it - he just did many things to it to make it better.

George Stephenson invented the first steam train (or as some people call them "steam engines") and he invented it in the year of 1814 at the age of 33 with his son Robert Stephenson. He won a competition which would declare who had invented a good enough engine to transport the public; he had this competition with one of his colleges 'Richard Trevithick'.

1765 england

Don't know but it was james watt who invented it!!

1797

I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T CARE! (Actually it was George Stephenson)

1863

In the 1800 I believe

1850

I don't know maybe years 10 to 15  ago

1879

1463

In the 1820's. By George  Stephenson. (:(:

1789

1800-1850!111

1804

It was in 24th July 1814 where they introduced the engine

There were numerous people involved in the invention and development of the steam train from the late 18th Century until around 1830

George Stephenson invented it just google when was the train invented and click I'm Feeling Lucky

The first steam engine was built in 1794 in the USA. The first
practical steam railway was built in the UK in 1804 and the first
railway journey was taken on that train.

Steam engines were invented Richard Trevithick in england.  This steam engine was invented in 1804.

Earliest is 1804, invented by Richard Trevithick and Andrew Vivian. Hope this isn't homework. Lol,  you can read more about it at www.wikipedia.org

George Stephenson 1781 - 1848
George Stephenson, british railway engineer who invented the first workable steam railway locomotive, was born at Wylam near Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1781, the son of a colliery fireman.
www.derbyshireuk.net Stephenson designed his first locomotive in 1814, a travelling engine designed for hauling coal on the Killingworth wagonway, and named Blücher after the Prussian general Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher.
en.wikipedia.org Trevithick (13 April 1771 – 22 April 1833) was a British inventor and mining engineer. His most significant success was the high pressure steam engine and he also built the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive. On 21 February 1804 the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks, near Merthyr Tydfil in Wales
en.wikipedia.org USA didnt even come close!

Richard Trevithick first harnessed a steam engine to a wagon. His engine was unsuccessful for transport, but the die was cast. Just a few years later George Stephenson's Rocket became the first steam locomotive practical to use for pulling rolling stock (train cars to you and me).
Hope I helped so basically George didn't invent it it was Richard!!!!!!

It was invented in 2000

The steam train was invented in1674 by george stephenson

He invented the steam train yesterday

Well I don't reely know but I know who invented the computer it was charles babbage.

George stevenson invented the steam train I no cause I'm related to him but I no nothing about him :(

The steam train was invented in 1689
