However, conservative railway owners are skeptical about the ability of steam locomotives. They suggested that tractors fixed beside the railway should use towing cables to pull trains. In order to make people fully believe in the performance of the train, Stephenson made a "rocket" locomotive with good performance. The excellent performance of this locomotive finally changed the attitude of skeptics, and the Liverpool-Manchester railway became the first railway line in the world that was completely transported by steam engines.
Historical evolution:
As early as 1804, a British mining technician named Drevisk first made the world's first steam locomotive with Watt's steam engine. This is a single-cylinder steam engine, which can pull five carriages at a speed of 5 to 6 kilometers per hour.
This kind of locomotive has no cab. When the locomotive is running, the driver walks by and drives. Because coal or firewood was used as fuel at that time, people called it "train" and it has been used ever since.
George stephenson, the pioneer of the train, was born in an English miner's family. 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 to study. 18 10 started to manufacture steam locomotives. 18 17 when Stephenson decided to take charge of the construction of the Liverpool-Manchester railway line, all the transportation tasks were undertaken by steam locomotives.
