Storyboard-Text
- Locomotives became a part in history when a British inventor named Richard Trevithick created the Puffing Devil, a locomotive made to run through the streets carrying six people to a nearby village.
- Three years later, Trevithick created two new types of trains, both now traveling on rails. In 1812, Mathew Murray designed the first commercially profitable train called the Salamanca.
- In 1814, George Stephenson made the Blucher, an eight wagon train that heaved thirty tons of coal at 4mph. This train was so successful that in 1824, Stephenson kept enhancing his trains and eventually won the name of "Father of the Trains."
- Not long after, countries across Europe began to make wheels out of wood. Wagons and carriages were some of the earliest vehicles made out of wood, used for transport and trading.
- Wheels were the second oldest form of transport. They were made out of clay in the Mediterranian Region in about 3500 BCE. Wheels were used in wagons for horse and oxen to push.
