 — The steam engine, either used on its own or as part of a train, is an iconic invention of the Industrial Revolution. An experiment in the seventeenth century that turned—by the middle of the nineteenth—into technology, the steam engine powered huge factories, allowed deeper mines, and moved a transport network.

 — A cumbersome steam carriage for roads was built in France by Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot as early as 1769. Richard Trevithick in England was the first to use a steam carriage on a railway; in 1803 he built a steam locomotive that in February 1804 made a successful run on a horsecar route in Wales.The adaptation of the steam engine to …

 — By the early 1800s, high-pressure steam engines had become compact enough to move beyond the factory, prompting the first steam-powered locomotive to hit the rails in Britain in 1804.

In the winter of 1764–5, I made experiments at Glasgow on the subject, in the course of my endeavours to improve the steam-engine, and as I did not then think of any simple method of trying the elasticities of steam at temperatures less than that of boiling water, and had at hand a digester by which the elasticities at greater heats could be tried, I considered …

H. Muncaster's little book on Model Stationary Engines - Their Design and Construction was first published in 1912, and revived in modern times by TEE Publishing. Muncaster wrote: "To those of a mechanical turn of mind, nothing has, perhaps, in the whole range of useful inventions, proved a source of more sustained interest than the steam engine.

The William Tod Company of Youngstown was one of a handful of builders of very large machinery for the American steel industry. This engine, with cylinders of 34- and 68-inch bore by 60-inch stroke, is representative of the firm's -- and the industry's -- application of steam power to rolling-mill drive early in the period of gradual transition to electric drive.

 — Unlike steam engines used in locomotives or ships, stationary steam engines stay in place and power factories, mills, pumping stations or electricity generators. They typically consist of a large steam boiler, a reciprocating or rotary steam engine and varius auxiliary components to control and regular the steam flow and power output.
