While Richard Trevithick managed to build his first steam locomotive in 1804, lack of marketing and the will to continue innovating enabled other inventors to step in and try their luck. In early 1800s he started working in a mine that had one of the early examples of stationary steam machines built by James Watt.
The railroad era in the United States began in 1830 when Peter Cooper's locomotive, Tom Thumb, first steamed along 13 miles (21 km) of Baltimore and Ohio railroad track. In 1833, the nation's second railroad ran 136 miles (219 km) from Charleston to Hamburg in South Carolina.ail transport blossomed after the British development of the steam locomotive as a viable source of the power in the 18th and 19th centuries. With steam engines, it was possible to construct mainline railways, which were a key component of the industrial revolution.
