George Stephenson Quotes

George Stephenson — English Inventor born on June 09, 1781, died on August 12, 1848

George Stephenson was an English civil engineer and mechanical engineer who built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830. Renowned as the "Father of Railways", the Victorians considered him a great example of diligent application and thirst for improvement, with self-help advocate Samuel Smiles particularly praising his achievements. His rail gauge of 4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches, sometimes called "Stephenson gauge", is the standard gauge by name and by convention for most of the world's railways... (wikipedia)
