The following people are remembered for their contributions to this great breakthrough (突破): James Watt — improving steam engines James Watt was a British engineer. He improved the steam engine and made it an effective source (来源) of power in 1776. Richard Trevithick — inventing steam locomotives (火车头) Richard Trevithick was a British engineer. Working on Watt’s steam engines, he managed to build one of the first steam locomotives in 1804. George Stephenson — building steam locomotives for railways The British inventor George Stephenson produced the world’s first commercial (商用的) passenger steam locomotive in 1825 and w ... ...
