=== Introduction of steam ===
The world's first [[steam locomotive]], built in 1802 by [[Richard Trevithick]] for the Coalbrookdale Company, ran on a {{Track gauge|3ft|lk=on}} [[plateway]]. The first commercially successful steam locomotive was [[Matthew Murray]]'s [[Salamanca (locomotive)|Salamanca]] built in 1812 for the {{Track gauge|4ft 1in|lk=on}} [[Middleton Railway]] in [[Leeds]].<ref>{{cite book |first=Anthony |last=Dawson |title=Before Rocket: The Steam Locomotive up to 1829 |publisher=Gresley |date=17 June 2020}}</ref> Salamanca was also the first [[Rack railway|rack-and-pinion]] locomotive. During the 1820s and 1830s, a number of industrial narrow-gauge railways in the United Kingdom used steam locomotives. In 1842, the first narrow-gauge steam locomotive outside the UK was built for the {{Track gauge|1100mm}}-gauge Antwerp-Ghent Railway in Belgium.<ref name=ransom>{{cite book |first=P.J.G. |last=Ransom |authorlink=P.
