La Rocket, construite par George et Robert Stephenson, gagne : elle atteint environ 48 km/h, plus vite qu'un cheval au galop ! En 1830, la ligne Liverpool-Manchester ouvre : c'est le premier chemin de fer reliant deux grandes villes avec des trains de voyageurs à vapeur. Comparatifs : faster than, the fastest, more powerful than.
