Despite an 1808 revised version of his locomotive, Trevithick abandoned his project and died penniless at the age of 62.
Yet, by 1845, a network of 2,440 miles of railway was open and 30 million passengers were being carried in Britain alone.
While the rail evolved considerably throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with other great engineering geniuses fostering its progress, the Penydarren locomotive will forever symbolise its birth, while Richard Trevithick will always stand as its creator.
