178 1 year, george stephenson, the pioneer of the train, was born into a family of British miners. He was illiterate until 18 years old. He ignored the ridicule of others and sat in the classroom with seven or eight-year-old children.

18 10 started to manufacture steam locomotives. 18 17, when Stephenson decided to take charge of the construction of the railway line from Liverpool to Manchester, the train began to gallop on the stage of human history.

18 14, a British mining technician named Drevisk made the world's first steam locomotive by using Watt's steam engine. This is a single-cylinder steam engine, which can pull five cars at a speed of 5 to 6 kilometers per hour.

The real steam locomotive, the train, was invented by Stephen Sun. Because coal or firewood was used as fuel at that time, people called it a train, and this name has been used ever since.

Extended data:

Steam locomotives used to be the main driving force of China's railway transportation. 1952, 12 In February, the first domestic locomotive was completed. This kind of locomotive, called "release type", became the first generation freight steam locomotive in China.

1September 1956, Sifang factory produced two new passenger locomotives, named Shengli locomotive, which became the first generation passenger steam locomotive in China?

However, with the passage of time, diesel locomotives stepped onto the stage, and steam locomotives gradually disappeared from our sight. 1963, China began to manufacture the first generation diesel locomotives?

Among them, the "Julong" diesel locomotive successfully trial-produced by 1959 has been improved and formally finalized for mass production, and has been finalized as "Dongfeng"? 1974, Dongfeng 4 locomotive officially left the factory, marking the first appearance of a new generation of diesel locomotives in China?

Dongfeng 4 diesel locomotive is a high-power trunk passenger and freight diesel locomotive trial-produced by Dalian Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works in 1969. 1974 was put into mass production, and the speed exceeded 120? Kilometers per hour.

Dongfeng 4 diesel locomotive is the main locomotive of railway transportation in China, which is responsible for passenger and cargo transportation. It is a classic diesel locomotive of Dongfeng series and China.

199 1 At the end of the year, the trial production of Dongfeng 1 1 diesel locomotive was completed. Maximum test speed 186km//h, traction bus 13 vehicles. Top speed 162km/h, 1992.

1994 65438+On February 22nd, Guangzhou-Shenzhen Line was officially opened, and Dongfeng 1 1 diesel locomotive undertook the traction task of quasi-high-speed passenger trains. Dongfeng 1 1 diesel locomotive is an important symbol of the new stage of technical development of passenger diesel locomotive in China, which has initiated a new period of rapid development of railway passenger transport in China.
