Steam locomotives had been developed after the steam engine was built in the late 17th century, And with it’s improvement by James Watt had room for improvement of the steam engine. There were prototypes as well that were previously created but several had failed until British Engineer George Stephenson built a successful locomotive called Blucher, and for that reason the first public railway was opened.
An Appellate Court is not (usually) the Court of original jurisdiction. So, in many cases you would start at a Federal Trial Court (District Court) and would have a normal trial. If you lost, you could appeal to the Appellate Court, who would review the record (only) from the Trial Court for clear error, bias, etc. A new trial does not occur at the Appellate Level, unless it is a court of original jurisdiction.
