Liverpool Manchester Railway - Liverpool Manchester Railway
This was the world's first railway on which a steam locomotive carried ordinary passengers. It opened on September 15, 1830, between the industrial city of Manchester in central England and the port city of Liverpool. The Stockton and Darlington Railway, which opened five years earlier, is famous as the world's first public railway to use a steam locomotive, but the steam locomotive only pulled freight cars; passenger cars were pulled by horses. This was the first full-scale railway to use a steam locomotive to carry both passengers and freight. The maiden train, pulled by the Rocket built by G. Stevenson, took four and a half hours to cover the 50 km distance.

世界で最初に蒸気機関車が一般の乗客を運んだ鉄道。1830年9月15日,イギリス中部の工業都市マンチェスターと港町リバプールの間に開通した。この鉄道より5年早く開通したストックトン・ダーリントン鉄道は世界最初に蒸気機関車を使った公共鉄道として名高いが,蒸気機関車は貨車を牽引するだけで,客車は馬が引っぱった。蒸気機関車を使い,旅客と貨物の両方を運ぶ本格的な鉄道はこの鉄道が最初である。G.スティーブンソンが製作したロケット号のひく処女列車は約50kmの区間を4時間半かかって走った。
