GEORGE STEPENSON INVENTED THE FIRST STEAM LOCMOTIVE ENGINE.
After ten months' labor, this locomotive was completed and put upon the Cillingwood Railway on the 25th July, 1814, and tried. On an ascending grade of one in four hundred and fifty feet, this engine succeeded in drawing 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 up to this period. It was called " Blusher." This was a triumph, and encouraged the inventor to further experiments. Seeing all the deflects of his first engine, and the wonderful effects of the steam- blast in facilitating the combustion of the fuel used in generating steam, George Stephenson set about constructing his second engine, the patent dated February 28, 1815.!!:-)
