George Stephenson,1847 engraving by John Seymour Lucas,of the British engineer George Stephenson. Stephenson is known as the father of British railways. He taught himself engineering and in 1811 he modified a steam engine to be used for pumping water out of a mine. He built many more mine engines before completing his first steam locomotive ('Blucher') in 1814. In 1825,his 'Locomotion' provided a passenger service from Stockton to Darlington at a speed of 24 kilometres per hour. At left is the locomotive 'Rocket' (1829),built by his son Robert (1803-1859) that famously won the Rainhill Trials (1829) for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
