July 25 is the day the locomotive was invented

The English inventor Stephenson George was the first to lay the foundations for the development of steam-powered rail transport. He was born on June 1781, 9, in Wylem, near Newcastle. From the age of 14, in the hands of his father, Duli worked as a gas pressure gauge in a coal mine. In his spare time, he repaired watches to test his skills in mechanics. In 1812, Killingworth worked as chief mechanic at a salt mine. After getting acquainted with the design of a steam engine in Wattada, in 1813 he began to design a locomotive. On July 25, 1814, he tried the flight of a locomotive, and it passed successfully. Stephenson patented the construction of the steam boiler, as well as invented the magnificent, safe construction of the mining lamp. In 1819-1822, he led the construction of a 13-mile railway line leading to the Hetton mine. In 1823 he laid the foundation for the construction of the first locomotive factory in Newcastle. In 1825, he completed the construction of an 8-ton, 26-kilometer-per-hour steam locomotive for the railways between Stockton and Darlint. He later led the construction of the Liverpool-Manchester railway. Sponsors of the project have announced a competition with a £ 500 prize for the best train. Stephenson won with his Rocket steamer. He also served as chief engineer in the construction of roads in Belgium and Spain. In 1847 he founded and directed the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. Stephenson died August 1848, 12, at Tepton House, near Chesterfield.
