Railway transport development is tightly bonded to the development of the locomotive movers. The invention of the reciprocating steam engine in the eighteenth century was the key element that led to the apparition of rail locomotive and railway transport. The early development of boiler technology allowed for the creation of the non-condensing steam engine technology which by late 1700s and early 1800s was installed on railway locomotive. This well-known prime mover required a large-size pressurized steam generator fired with coal stored in a tender wagon. The railway lines expanded because the prime mover facilitated the transport of construction materials and personal creating thus the infrastructure.
