Criminal record for train fare evasion??

Hi
Was hoping someone could clear something up or point me in the right direction.
In May 2006, i was caught without a ticket on a train. My own fault i know but had money problems at the time and thought i would chance it. Eventually I received court summons and was due in court of Dec 2006. I was found guilty and had to pay about £100 fine and £100 court costs.
I had not thought anymore about it until my family have booked a holiday to USA next year. Does anyone know how I can find out if this has led to a criminal record? There were no police involved so believe there may be a chance that it is just a civil matter? Also, don't now know if I am being completely paranoid but have been reading that having any sort of criminal record will lead problems into getting into the USA which seems a bit unfair for a minor offence like this?
Would appreciate any advice on this?
Many thanks
