If I can include Mechanical Engineering Marvels, certainly the evolution of the Steam Locomotive, then the evolution ( outside of Europe ) of the Diesel - Electric Locomotive. Also, the automatic knuckle coupler, a small, simple device that can withstand huge forces pulling / pushing on it.
For Railroad Civil Engineering Marvels, the long tunnels of Europe & North America stand out, as well as big bridges.
