And after he was good at reading alphabets, he began to love reading all the books related to the machine. Until a time George was given the task of designing a machine that would be used to replace the role of a horse in pulling a train containing coal. George eventually designed a steam-driven locomotive engine. The machine he named with blucher. This is where the embryo of the idea of ​​a train was first discovered. At that time, George's machine was well received. This led to George being trusted as an engineer to lead the development project as well as the development of the world's first railway line. The line was in Stokton-Darlington and opened publicly in 1825. Furthermore, George was again entrusted with the construction of a railroad in Liverpool Manchester which was opened to the public in 1830.

And thanks to his ingenuity, he won the consthetics. He designed a machine that he named Rocket. The machine contributes to the next researcher who then perfected the train. Rocket itself can still be found next and next generation because he was immortalized in one museum in London.
