In the early years of the 19th century the idea of using steam engines to draw freight and passenger trains interested many inventors. But the history of steam traction began much earlier when an English engineer, William Murdock, built a working model of a steam locomotive in 1784. It was a baby locomotive about a foot (30.5 cm) high. It had three wheels and it's boiler was heated by a spirit lamp.

One day Murdock wanted to test his engine. He lighted the spirit lamp and soon the water began boiling. The engine ran fast along the street with loud roaring .

Unfortunately nothing came of Murdock's invention because his little locomotive was thought of as the creation of the Devil.

...And this is how the first steam locomotive appeared in the USA. One day in 1804 the people of Philadelphia saw a roaring and fire-breathing monster running along the street, followed by shouting boys. It was really the first steam locomotive in America, although it did not run on rails. Alter it's short journey on land the locomotive fell down into the river and disappeared in the water.
