George Stephenson is known as The Father of the Railways. When he was born in 1781, his father .was working in a coal mine. Like a lot of poor children at that time, George didn’t go to school and he started working at the age of eight. While he was working, he went to evening classes and as a teenager he learnt to read and write.
He was very good at making machines and mending things, and after several years he became the coal mine’s main engineer. While he was working for the coal mine, he became interested in engines and developed his ideas for his famous train engine.
Finally, he left the coal mine and started working for himself.
Next, in the 1820s, he designed and built the very successful Stephenson’s Rocket, a steam engine to pull trains. Then he built the first public railways. Unfortunately, the day Stephenson opened his second public railway in 1830, the Rocket hit and killed a member of the government. However, until then the fastest transport was a horse, so railways quickly became popular. There are now railways everywhere: the invention of a clever, hard-working but poor, uneducated coal miner changed the world.
