Yes, this is 190 years ago and put GB out in front of the technology. But they didn't have room for long runs, or big mountains. The history of steam locomotives and railroads in the US was overcoming one obstacle after another, then when the trains went everywhere they had to go faster and haul heavier in a never ending competition.
The development of steam engines for stationary use and in automobiles is also interesting.
