Trevithick overlooked again. Stephenson may have built his first steam locomotive in 1814, but it wasn't the first, Trevithick beat him by a decade.



First US railroad opened in 1830 between Baltimore and a point on the Ohio river, at around the same time in the UK the first inter-city railway was opened between Liverpool and Manchester.

Nor the second nor the third. Stephenson's real fame came from building the first inter-city railway line, the Liverpool & Manchester, which opened in 1830.

As to date no one from the future has come back in time to tell us. I am forced to conclude the human race has come to the end or gone back to being cave men or apes.

On the other hand if we had the power to go back into the past now would we go back and tell the cave men of ancient times how much better we have it today?

While showing off we'd probably wonder why our marvelous iPhone gets no connection.
In the meantime the caveman would make fire, and kill a mammoth.
