feb 22, 1804 - On February 22, 1804, trivick's steam locomotive began to move slowly along the railroad tracks. The locomotive has a speed of 20 kilometers per hour when it is empty and only 8 kilometers per hour when it is loaded.

Description:

Trivicek did not design a cab, and the driver had to walk alongside the vehicle. It was called the "train" because it was powered by coal or wood. Although it later crushed the tracks under its own weight, the steam locomotive was a significant step forward in human history.
