George Stephenson
George Stephenson (1781-1848) was an English civil and mechanical engineer known as the 'Father of Railways.' He successfully implemented steam locomotion on public railways, with his Locomotion No. 1 carrying passengers on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, and opened the world's first inter-city railway, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, in 1830. His chosen rail gauge of 1,435 mm became the global standard gauge, inherited by most of the world's railways.
