Despite an 1808 revised version of his locomotive, Trevithick abandoned his project and died penniless at the age of 62.
Yet, by 1845, a network of 2,440 miles of railway was open and 30 million passengers were being carried in Britain alone.
While the rail evolved considerably throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with other great engineering geniuses fostering its progress, the Penydarren locomotive will forever symbolise its birth, while Richard Trevithick will always stand as its creator.

 Austria's Rail Transport
At the beginning of the nineteenth century increasing trade called for improved transport, and this led to the construction of Austria's first railway.
On March 31, 1808, a memorable day in Austria's railway history, Dr. von Gerstner, Professor of Mathematics in the University of Prague, proposed the construction of a railway line, a transport medium of which he had heard from England.
Gerstner advocated a horse railway from Linz to Joachimsmuhle, but left the project in the hands of his son, who in September, 1824, was granted by the Emperor Franz I the exclusive right of building a wood and iron road between Mauthausen, on the Danube, and Budweis (now called Ceske-Budejovice).

Many forms of transport, old and new, are depicted in music.
Minimalism, with its often agreeable monotony, is not unsuited to the depiction of transportation subjects.
