They said the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, and the engine would catch fire to their houses.
George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, could pull carriages full of goods and passengers and that there was no great harm to them. It was very difficult for him to make them believe(相信). However, after some time, he was able to do it. And the first train that was driven by George Stephenson himself showed what he had said. On the train, there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him and was a complete success.
The first day when the train ran on the rails, people along the way heard the noise of the train in the distance, and saw it running quickly to them. They thought it was a genie(妖怪). They ran home quickly and closed their doors. They didn't come out until it went away.
