In the early 19th century, British mining technician Richard Trevithick and American inventor Oliver Evans built the first high-pressure steam engine, from which Trevithick developed the first steam locomotive. The Industrial Revolution thereafter spread around the world following the sound of the steam whistle.
直到 19 世紀初，英國採礦技師特里維西克（Richard Trevithick）和美國發明家伊凡斯（Oliver Evans）製造第一部高壓式蒸氣機，特里維西克更利用這部機器，成功造出世上第一輛蒸氣火車頭，工業革命就此隨著火車氣笛聲奔竄全世界。
