Not 100% related to trains but it tells the story of Rudolph Diesel's Engine which powers trains today.

On the other hand, James Watts' improvements to Thomas Newcomen's engine aren't 100% related to trains but without them we would never have had steam locomotives.  I think Rudolph Diesel's engine is pretty important.  Thank you for the fascinating video.
