who i father of railway

Well, the first steam engine was built in 1804 by Richard Trevithick, an English engineer born in Cornwall

The first commercially successful steam locomotive was Matthew Murray is rack locomotive The Salamanca built for the narrow gauge Middleton Railway in 1812.

William James, a rich & influential surveyor & land agent, was inspired by the development of the steam locomotive to suggest a national network of railways. He was responsible for proposing a number of projects that later came to fruition, & he is credited with carrying out a survey of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. Unfortunately, he became bankrupt & his schemes were taken over by George Stephenson & others. However, he is credited by many historians with the title of ''Father of the Railway''.


BUT, railroads would not be as safe & fast as they r today without Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855 & made mass-produced steel possible, & Andrew Carnegie who was the big steel-producer for the railways.
