who invented the train

The train, specifically the steam-powered railway locomotive, was invented by Richard Trevithick, a British mining engineer and inventor, in 1804. He built the first full-scale working steam locomotive that hauled a load on a railway, marking the beginning of the era of steam trains. However, the development of trains was an incremental process involving many inventors, and George Stephenson later improved and commercialized steam locomotives in the 1820s, becoming known as the "Father of Railways" for his significant contributions to the railway system.
