The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick in the United Kingdom and, on 21 February 1804, the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway fr om the Pen-y-Darren iron-works, near Martyr Tydfil to Abercynon in South Wales. Accompanied with Andrew Vivian, it ran with mixed success.The design incorporated a number of important innovations that in¬cluded using high-pressure steam which reduced the weight of the engine and increased its efficiency.Trevithick visited the Newcastle area in 1804 and he had a ready au¬dience of colliery owners and engineers. The visit was so successful that the colliery railways in north-east England became the leading centre for experimentation and development of the steam locomotive. Trevithick continued his own steam propulsion experiments through another trio of locomotives, concluding with the Catch Me Who Can in 1808.Another well-known early locomotive was Puffing Billy, built 1813- 1814 by engineer William Hedley. It was intended to work on the Wylam Colliery near Newcastle upon Tyne. This locomotive is the oldest pre-served, and is on static display in the Science Museum, London. и т.д 2.Translate the following word combinations from English into Russian.The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive, the world’s first railway journey took place, mixed success, colliery owners, steam propulsion experiments, on static display, the first public steam railway3.Translate the following word combinations from Russian into English.Паровой локомотив без названия, конструкция включает, важ¬ные инновации, уменьшить вес двигателя, настолько успешный, ве-дущий центр по проведению экспериментов и разработок, он предна¬значался для, благодаря этому успеху4.Complete the sentences.
