21-February... World's First Steam Railway Locomotive, Penydarren...


World's first Steam locomotive, Penydarran developed by Richard Trevithick was successfully put into service on this day (21-Feb) in the year 1804... 

On that day, the locomotive pulled 10-ton load of Iron and approximately 70 men over a distance of 9 miles...  And, this was the first documented demonstration that a Steam engine could travel on iron rails and pull a load...

This stamp can be collected under the themes:

(a) Locomotives...
