Answer:

A race against a horse drawn railcar in 1830

Step-by-step explanation:

"When his overseer suggested that there was plenty of iron ore on the land, Cooper decided to set up an iron business. Here he invented a process for rolling steel and used it to make rails for horse driven trolleys. This later led to one of his most significant inventions, that is, the first steam powered locomotive."
