Прочитайте и переведите текст на русский язык : THE LOCOMOTIVE The first railway was built between Stockton and Darlington in 1823 by George Stephenson. His most famous engine was “the Rocket”, which won a competition on the Manchester - Liverpool railway. The principle of the locomotive engine is very similar to that of the stationary steam-engine. There are two, three, or four cylinders which are usually carried, two outside and the rest inside the engine frames. A most important feature of locomotive is the boiler, for the power of the engine depends on the rapid generation of steam. The type of boiler used is the fire-tube boiler. Inside the cylindrical body of the locomotive there are a large number of small tubes through which pass the flames and smoke from the fire. The tubes are surrounded by water. In this way a very large heating surface is obtained and steam is generated as rapidly as possible. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electric motors that are supplied with electricity generated by an external source. The locomotive draws current from an overhead wire, a third rail, or an on-board storage device such as a battery. Diesel locomotives are electric locomotives with an on-board generator powered by a Diesel engine. Diesel and electric locomotives are cleaner, more efficient, and require less maintenance than steam locomotives. By the 1950s, Diesel and electric power had replaced steam power on most of the world's railroads. In the 20th century airplanes replaced railroads for most long-distance passenger travel, but railroads remain important for hauling freight and for passenger transport in many countries.
