The train was invented by George Stephenson, a British inventor. He did lots of experiments and created the first train which used a steam engine as its power. In 1825, the train successfully completed its first test run carrying both passengers and goods.
On the first day it ran, people along the line heard the loud noise and saw it rushing fast. They thought the strange moving "monster" would hurt them, so all of them ran back home, closed their doors and dared not go out any more.
Now the train has already become one of the most important traffic tools all over the world.
