When I watched the movie "Iron Will", I was impressed with the scene when "Will" felt sad as he received the letter from the University where he was accepted to go to college. He knew he can't pursue his studies for financial reasons. However, his father gave him motivation with his words "the money is there when you need it". Little did Will know that he will really get the money he needed but through the hard way. His decision to participate in the race seems impossible to the organizers, how much more with his counterparts. However, his faith that he will succeed made his dream possible while impossible with others.
What I'm pointing at here is, if we desire something from our heart the nature starts to form the things that we desire from its formless substance in the universe. After all nature is the origin of all things we need and use. Man just convert it into physical.
One of the products of nature are the locomotives. I say it is a product of nature because the materials used are steel and other materials which all comes from Mother Earth. It was in 1804 when the world's first steam railroad locomotive was built after tens of thousands of years that human beings managed with the power provided by wind, water or sheer muscle. Still nature.

In the 1st century A.D., an ancient Greek mathematician named Hero from Alexandria Egypt came up with an idea of using jets of steam to rotate a kettle-like vessel. Then in 1769, a French arrmy engineer named Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot (1725-1804) built a massive three-wheeled cart that was driven along by a steam engine at walking pace.
In 1783, the Marquis Claude de Jouffroy d'Abbans, a French nobleman, built a steamboat which churned up the Saone River near Lyons, in France. In 1787 John Fitch, an American inventor, made the first successful steamboat with an engine driving a series of peddles on each side of the boat. In 1970, Fitch started the world's first steam service on the Delaware River. In 1802, in Scotland, another steam pioneer, William Symington (1763-1831, built a steam tug, the Charlotte Dundas. It was so powerful that it could pull two 70-ton barges. (ref: The History Encyclopedia)These inventors came up with the idea and later realized thru their inventions, they are really extra ordinary.
