When did George Stephenson build his first railroad steam engine?

George Stephenson built his first successful steam locomotive, the "Locomotion No. 1", in 1825.

It's important to note that he did not build the first steam locomotive ever. That honor goes to Richard Trevithick, who built a working steam locomotive in 1804. However, Stephenson's "Locomotion No. 1" was the first steam locomotive designed specifically for passenger and freight transportation on a public railway.
