+George Stephenson's “Locomotion” steam train starts service on the Stockton–Darlington Railway (United Kingdom), the world’s first passenger railway.
+Development of the steam engine: In 1698 Thomas Savery (an English military engineer and inventor) patented the first crude steam engine, based on Denis Papin's Digester or pressure cooker of 1679. In 1712, Thomas Newcomen together with John Calley built their first engine on top of a water filled mine shaft and used it to pump water out of the mine. James Watt (Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer) made further improvements to the steam engine: most notably Watt's 1769 patent for a separate condenser connected to a cylinder by a valve. Unlike Newcomen's engine, Watt's design had a condenser that could be cool while the cylinder was hot. Watt's engine soon became the dominant design for all modern steam engines and helped bring about the Industrial Revolution, in which transportation and fabrication became mechanical. The unit of power called the Watt was named after James Watt.
